Size: 5.25” x 8.25”
The keel for the Nimitz (CVAN 68) was laid down on June 22, 1968, at Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Va.
May 13, 1972 The Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Nimitz was christened and launched from Shipway 11, Newport News. Based upon a design originally submitted to build the Midway class of aircraft carriers during WWII, the company raised the 1,100 foot long submerged shipway from tidal flats and extended it to accommodate Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
