U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier USS Nimitz Is Nearing the 'End of the Line'
The USS Nimitz (CVN-68), the U.S. Navy's oldest in-service aircraft carrier, is preparing for one of its final deployments before decommissioning in 2026. After more than 50 years of service, the nuclear-powered supercarrier will be deactivated at Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding facility.

Summary and Key Points: The USS Nimitz (CVN-68), the U.S. Navy's oldest in-service aircraft carrier, is preparing for one of its final deployments before decommissioning in 2026. After more than 50 years of service, the nuclear-powered supercarrier will be deactivated at Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding facility.
 
-The decommissioning process is intricate, involving the defueling and removal of the ship's nuclear reactors, which will be sent to specialized Department of Energy facilities for disposal.

Important Point: Despite her retirement, parts from USS Nimitz will continue to serve in the fleet, extending her legacy through sister carriers and the new Gerald R. Ford-class vessels.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So the Navy will be two down for 4=5 years,

USS John F. Kennedy is scheduled to be commissioned in 2025, about a year before Nimitz is scheduled to begin the decommissioning process.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
