	Nimitz, The Submariner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Nimitz stood seventh out of 114 in the class – definitely a “star” man – and his first orders were no different from those of his classmates; he went to the newly-commissioned battleship, USS Ohio (BB-12) and shipped out in her to the Asiatic Fleet.
		Nimitz hoped, like all his contemporaries, to be assigned again to a battleship, which during that era was not just the pride of the Navy, but the capital ship, the embodiment of seapower.
		Nimitz’s specific contributions to the new submarine designs are not documented, but the outcome of this board – generally conservative but with strong endorsements of improved habitability, reliability, and specific research and development priorities – reflect the practicality and innovation that seem to have been one of Nimitz’s trademarks.

		Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who at the height of the Pacific war commanded over two million men and women, 5,000 ships and 20,000 planes, was of humble and landlocked beginnings.
		Because of the need for junior officers in Theodore Roosevelt's expanding Navy, the Admiral's class was graduated ahead of schedule on January 30, 1905, with Chester seventh in the class of 114.
		During World War I, Nimitz served on the staff of the commander of submarines in the Atlantic; in the future he was always to consider submarines his first love.

	Nimitz-class Aircraft Carriers - Popular Mechanics
		The size and position of the four air craft elevators--two forward of the island on the starboard side, one aft of the island on the starboard side, and one on the port stern quarter (each the size of two average city dwelling lots)--also were developed from years of trial and error aboard preceding carriers.
		The Nimitz elevators, unlike elevators aboard some prior ships, can all be operated during launch and recovery, a crucial element in speeding up what can be an extremely tough process.
		The Nimitz flight deck is designed around the catapults and arresting gear critical to the launch and recovery of aircraft.

	CVN-68 Nimitz-class
		The Navy's Nimitz class nuclear powered aircraft carriers provide sustainable, independent forward presence and conventional deterrence in peacetime; operate as the cornerstone of joint/allied maritime expeditionary forces in times of crisis; operate and support aircraft attacks on enemies; and protect friendly forces and engage in sustained independent operations in war.
		Carriers support and operate aircraft that engage in attack on airborne, afloat, and ashore targets that threaten free use of the sea and engage in sustained operations in support of other forces.
		The general excellence of the Nimitz design precluded major changes to later ships in the class.

	Gibraltar Class Carrier
		As the current Nimitz class carriers, even under wartime conditions, would take nearly four years to complete, a new design was necessary to speed up the rate of carrier production to replace ships which would inevitably be lost in combat.
		The resultant Gibraltar class carrier has the same basic hull, flight deck, command tower, elevator, and catapult locations as the older Nimitz class carriers; however, its modular design allows much of the fabrication of the ship to be carried out off site.
		The Gibraltar class does feature a new nuclear propulsion plant which leverages from the previous three generations of shipborne nuclear technologies and is rated for 50 years (or the lifetime of the ship) without the need for refueling.

		The near-term track of this strategy is CVN 77, the tenth NIMITZ Class and the first carrier of the 21st Century.
		In 1997 Newport News proposed what it termed a "Smart Buy" procurement strategy for the next Nimitz class carrier, under which a portion of CVN-77 funding originally budgeted for 2002 would be incrementally funded in FY98 through FY01.
		The company claimed that this advanced funding would reduce the cost of the carrier by an estimated $600 million by ensuring a strong supplier base and preserving essential shipbuilding skills that might otherwise be lost during the construction gap between CVN-76 and CVN-77.
