Some of the impressive statistics:


Propellers: 4, bronze, 21 feet across

Rudders: 2, each 29 feet by 22 feet

Anchors: 2, each weighing 30 tons

Anchor chains: 2, each 1,041 feet, 684 links, individual link weighs 365
pounds

Distillation plants: Provide 400,000 gallons of fresh water daily from
the sea water, enough to supply 2,000 homes

Toilet paper: 100,000 rolls

Power plant: 2 nuclear reactors that can go 20 years without refueling

You forgot the milage figures.

What do you figure - 2/3 a mile per rad? :)

All the best to your son. Good luck and God Speed to him and his
shipmates.

Later,

Tom
