[Shotimes] OT thats a lot of lightning

They were little reactors, though... but anyway, yeah, that ship is a piece
of crap (btw, the navy dropped the A in CVAN after they decided that none of
their carriers were attack carriers anymore in the early 90s). We almost had
to go out on an extra deployment because their ship had a busted shaft, and
it was one of the two main shafts. This was about two weeks before they were
supposed to go out last october. I hate the enterprise... they caused so
much unncecessary stress. stupid ship. Didn't they use the nimitz in that
movie? cos the enterprise (65) is ported in Norfolk, right alongside us
(71), the washington (73), the truman (75), and the vinson (69). Notice that
they're all odd numbered carriers; even numbered carriers are ported on the
west coast. and there's your bit of navy trivia for the day!
