They've panted the mockup carrier to look like the USS Nimitz, including its CVN number, 68. So for whatever purpose they plan to use it, it will represent America.

They will pull off the heist of the century... they steal the Nimitz, then replace it with that copy... and nobody will notice it until too late  :noid

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.  :noid
