Right around high tide today — as these things often happen — the USS Nimitz supercarrier arrived in Bremerton’s Sinclair Inlet.
There, she’ll spend the next 16 months getting maintenance at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The Nimitz is no stranger to overhauls, nor is she a spring chicken. The carrier was commissioned in 1972, I’m told. It took the nuclear vessel a little longer than expected to get here, too, but here, she is.
I snapped a few pictures at city hall, atop the Norm Dicks Government Center, this morning. If you’d like to add a photo to this gallery of its arrival, ship me a note at jfarley@kitsapsun.com.
