First, the aircraft on board. Models or not, The bottom two clearly look like F/A-18s, the top one? Maybe Mirage F-1?
A long time ago I read a book...
http://www.amazon.com/Nimitz-Class-Patrick-Robinson/dp/009922562X In this book a fictional Nimitz Class CV, "Thomas Jefferson" is torpedoed with a Nuclear Torp by a Rogue Iranian Diesel Boat, Hunt for Red October plot ensues. Is this some kind of training platform, or maybe a movie prop?
A lot of fiction stuff/art that I have read or played in the past seems to be more an more plausible as the future unfurls... Just saying.
