500 000 gal JP5, they run it through the diesels auxs also, potable about 64 000 potable possible production but they tend to maintain abut 30 000 gal with another 2000 or 3000 gal of DI water for various uses [ballpark] and they have a sewage plant onboard, call it 30 000 gal at any given time between holding and processing.
Hubby got home and he actually knows this… go figure:dubious:
Is this how crop circles are made?
(I KNEW we needed another scarecrow!)

Hey, it was runner pat, post #9. Credit where credit’s due.
Who the %^$# wished nested quotes out to the goddamn cornfield?!
Credit all around:
Ignorance fought !
What if we just turn on ALL the irrigation systems at once and go away for a while?
Well, if the aliens put the carrier out there, Roswell, New Mexico, might be involved.
And everybody knows the aliens are only vulnerable on the 4th of July and not a day later (cite).
So the question becomes:
Would it be possible to go forth on the Fourth from Roswell to Rosyth on the Firth of Forth before the fifth?
Minor pedantic nitpick: That was in Iowa. It may not seem like it, but they are different states. 
I’m sorry, let me get this straight; they have hundreds and hundreds of great Americans to choose from and they’re naming one of the greatest warships ever constructed, the lead ship of its design, after GERALD FORD?
Did I miss it when they built the USS Ulysses S. Grant and the USS Thomas Jefferson and the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt and the USS Calvin Coolidge? How does Gerald Ford rate this?
The first three in your list were built 
They named one after Ronald Reagan too.
No one has mentioned the Crawler-Transporters yet? If I read this page right:
http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/nasafact/count3teaf.htm
then they can transport 11 million pounds = 4900 Long tons.
So since we got the Nimitz down to 100,000 tons without it’s air wing, people, fuel etc thats only 20 Crawler Transporters that we need to move the Nimitz.
Progress!
As some have pointed out a dug canal would be the way to recover it.
One more reason why the shadow government running the U.S. is supressing matter transmitters.
I read a news article about the army tanks at the Fort Knox armor museum being moved to Fort Benning. It said the tanks have to sit on concrete pads or they will slowly sink into the ground due to their tremendous weight. The heaviest of them was 72 tons.
I suppose the 100,000 ton Nimitz would sink in the soft Kansas soil to the waterline painted on it’s hull (?)
I have no idea why they named it after him, but if a carrier ends up in Kansas by mistake, it would only be fitting for it to be the Gerald Ford!
I suppose this means we’ll never name one after Nixon…
I say paint the fields around it bright green and sell it to Jerry Bruckheimer.
Someone good at math and physics could work that out based on the density of the topsoil in comparison to seawater. I am not good at math or physics.
I’m sure we will, it’ll be the one that goes to China.
