    It should be no problem for that nukie boat to get 130 knots of wind across the flight deck! The bomber would just float off the deck and into the wild blue yonder. hee hee

    I remember a guy being interviewed about Nuke carriers. He was asked how fast they were. His reply "That is classified. However, what I can say is this, you could barefoot water ski behind one."
