Leaving behind all the politics, wars and so on for a second… that aircraft carrier you built America? The nuclear powered one? Pretty darn impressive.

I believe all of the carriers in the fleet are Nuclear powered.

Even more impressive! Our carriers run off the power of fossils.

Our submarines are as well. There's no place to fill the tank in the middle of the ocean halfway across the earth.

That is the USS George Washington, over 35 years old now.
If you ever visit NYC, you can go on the USS Intrepid. It's an aircraft carrier that has been converted to a museum. They had a Concorde jet on the flight deck and for a while had a space shuttle too.

There is also the USS Midway, now a museum, in the harbor in San Diego, CA.

It's all such amazing engineering

Yeah we have nuclear subs too, no-one knows where they are at any given time - they carry our nuclear deterrent. We used to have a few diesel-electrics, but no more...
