Quote: Good guess! The answer was given to me by our commanding officer of the G.W. He said that they could remain at 30+ knots nonstop for 14 YEARS before having to refuel thier reactors. Talk about insane huh? *Kinda humbling if you ask me*
The Dwight D. Eisenhauer just completed her overhaul and refueling. She steamed almost 24 years on her original reactor cores.
A carrier can run for years on without refueling, but crew members cannot.
