Jan Hansen comments that "The Nimitz is so massive that when she was directly in front of me, she overflowed my lens."

The Nimitz is a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, home based at Naval Station Kitsap.

Wikipedia says:

USS Nimitz (CVN-68) is a supercarrier of the United States Navy, and the lead ship of her class. One of the largest warships in the world, she was laid down, launched, and commissioned as CVAN-68, "aircraft carrier, attack, nuclear powered", but she was later redesignated as CVN-68, "aircraft carrier, multi-mission, nuclear-powered", on 30 June 1975, as part of a fleet-wide realignment that year.
