I was just reading some information on my son's (Eisboch Jr.) new boat.
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

Name: USS Harry S. Truman (currently heading for duty in the Persian Gulf)

Eisboch

Impressive. Best of luck to your son.

How long is his tour? What are his duties on the ship?
