The 317 metres long USS Nimitz measures 40.8 metres beam wise and 11.9 metres draught wise, and has a displacement of over 1, 00,000 tons. The aircraft carrier offers a speed of 31.5 knots and is supplied by two water reactors, rather than the gas turbines or diesel-electric systems placed for propulsion on modern warships, that are pressurised or supercharged and run four turbines simultaneously. Before passing through four turbines of the two reactors, the water first heated through nuclear fission that produced by the reactors. Then the turbine powers four bronze screws. However, as an alternative source of vessel power source, diesel engines are also provided to function as an effective back-up.
