The USS Theodore Roosevelt came to Cape Town and I went to Blouberg beach to go and check it out and I must say I couldn’t see much, but from what I read its quite amazing. I mean that carrier has more aircraft on it than the entire South African Airforce, which just shows the magnitude. After looking at the ship I did a search on US Aircraft carriers and came across a list that describes past and future aircraft carriers. Most of these ships are 300 metres and longer and the majority run on nuclear power, which means they can run forever.
