The huge American aircraft carrier is moored in the Solent as she is too big to enter Portsmouth Harbour.

Taken at dawn this morning, just as the sky was warming up. Her bow is pointing to the West.

She has a crew of over 5,000 and is 20 stories high above the water line. She is home to 9 aircraft squadrons of over 70 helicopters and aircraft.

She is the 8th Nimitz Class warship and her deck is 1,096 feet long.
