After 11 years, he returns to the waters of the Gulf of Naples the American nuclear aircraft carrier USS George HWBush (CVN-77), belonging to the US Navy. We can already admire it in the Gulf because just today, Monday 28 November 2022, it arrived in our sea, with its 300 meters in length.
As we can easily guess from the name, the aircraft carrier is named after the former American president George HW Bush, or Bush senior, the first president of the Bush family (remember, in fact, that George W. Bush, on the other hand, is the son who was also elected President of the USA).
After more than a decade, therefore, thehuge ship she returned to Naples, in fact the first time we could see it in 2011 in all its grandeur. We don't know how long it will remain in Naples, so we recommend that you look out over the Gulf to admire it as soon as possible, if you are curious.
The characteristics of the aircraft carrier George HW Bush
George HW Bush is an aircraft carrier nuclear propulsion, the last part of the Nimitz class, i.e. the class that includes the 10 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service with the US Navy and which takes its name from the American admiral Chester Nimitz in force during the Second World War.
Mounts two Westinghouse A4 nuclear reactors and can contain on board 90 aircraft fixed or rotary wing. There are also numerous other helicopters. As we have already said, it is long 300 meters with on-board 6000 men who make up the crew.
In short, it is a huge structure, a gigantic naval base that sails the seas. She was launched on October 9, 2006 and entered service on May 11, 2009.
