These are horrors for all except the US. Sometimes French, Italian, British or even Indian Navies might send their ships to participate in joint exercises with them but the matter of fact remains that US is a selfish and self-indulgent power. There will be no Euro Zone if it was not for US.
So coming back to US Navy battle sips. Here is a small run down.
The main battle ship in a fleet is called the Capital Ship. Simple isn't it? Every country has a capital then why should there not be a capital in a fleet? If you are not convinced then know it that the Capital Ship of a fleet in itself is more powerful than most of the countries in the world - the exceptions are countable on your fingers. So there you have it - the Capital Ship.
Then there is the Class of ships. The list of classes is here. Our focus will be US and Nimitz Class in particular. These are ten nuclear powered air-craft carriers. Why ten? Well nice boys like to have some extra toys. One or two can be found with so many countries. These are the largest Capital Ships and the length is 333m. Join three of them and you end up with a kilometer of Capital Ships. They use two A4W pressurized type nuclear reactors to power them. The total power in around 190 MW and the maximum cruising speed is 56kmph. In other words, though it sails on the sea, it will reach Agra from Delhi in a few hours. Of course such distances are inches when compared to the range of its weaponry. The service life is fifty years. The also claim that it does not need refueling for twenty years but this is silly. They can not stay on sea for twenty years because they shall need the oil for their air crafts. Carries rums on nuclear power while the air crafts run on good old oil.
It is one of these ships that was noticed by Iran and was scared away.
