BREMERTON, wash. – Finally, the USS Nimitz returned home Sunday, close to a year after the aircraft carrier left Sinclair Inlet in Washington state.

100,000 tons of warship, by completing a deployment that included flying shooters against the Islamic State in the Middle East to navigate the disputed waters of the South China Sea, returns to Bremerton, Washington, after logging 99,000 miles. Navy leaders have called it one record-long journey for an airline in the years after World War II.

Most of its 3,000 sailors plus, of which approx. half served in their first deployment ever, boarded the warship ril 1, 2020 to quarantine COVID-19. While the crew manned the rails, Nimitz pushed his way through the Rich Passage to Sinclair Inlet Sunday, just 25 days shy of a full year away from families.

Wow, that’s a tight pressure for a 100,000 ton aircraft carrier through the Rich Passage. https://t.co/VwFxCzYmXN pic.twitter.com/Xy6wnREY2N

“Every facet of America is here,” Rick Mengel, Nimitz’s Chief of Staff, told Kits Sun, part of the United States TODAY Network, in January 2020. “Some grew up on farms, others grew up in the city. Every time in life is here, from every state. We have America aboard the Nimitz. ”

The average age of a sailor on Nimitz is around 24. And thanks to social distancing, masking and the creation of a COVID-19 bubble, the first aircraft carrier group deployed during the pandemic endured not a single case of novel coronavirus out at sea, said the ship. Its seafarers have not yet been vaccinated due to the logistical challenges of obtaining ultra-cold inoculation at sea.

“We have done a lot to protect that bubble,” Ct said. Max Clark, Nimitz Commander.

The crew knew the effort, Clark said. America’s fleet of Nimitz-class airlines has been overtaxed, including the release of COVID-19 cases aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt last spring that took a sailor’s life.

“For a while there we said, ‘if it’s not Nimitz, it’s none,'” Clark said.

Nimitz had returned home several times during this implementation, only to return to another mission.
