I served on Nimitz for three years in the mid 80’s - and we didn’t have GPS. Every three days we’d take on 2.5 to 3 million gallons of JP-5. Back then we had A-6,
A-7, F-14 and S-3 - all gone now.

[Psalm 73]

"Every three days we’d take on 2.5 to 3 million gallons of JP-5."

Was that during "normal" operations?
I can't imagine what she'd suck down during combat ops!

The C-2 is still there, but eventually to be replaced by the Osprey.

I was a midshipman on the Ike in ‘83. Same planes. Came in on a COD, left on a Sea King. Good times. Until I washed out.
