USS Nimitz aircraft carrier docked in Phuket, Thailand!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pAj6v_sCbYendofvid [starttext]Phuket welcomed another group of US Navy ships & sailors this week for their popular R&R shore leave. The USS Nimitz, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, one of the largest in the world, was the star attraction for a group of local press to see & tour on board Together with USS Pickney & Rentz, they docked at Ao Makham, off the deep sea port. While our press gang walked the planks of Nimitz, up to 5,000 sailors were patiently lining up to leave or hanging around the hanger. They obediently follow their chain of command right up to the President, while we followed David Bennett, their Deputy Public Affairs Officer as he led us past some of the 60 aircraft both planes and helicopters, parked on the packed deck.
