Summary

Description

An aerial view of the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68) and the British aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal (R09) tied up at piers at Norfolk Naval Station, Virginia (USA), maybe between 14 and 21 August 1978.

Note: The photo may have been taken in 1975 when Ark Royal was having her catapults repaired. Also, Nimitz was having extensive flight deck work in 1978. In the National Archives description, the left hand carrier is wrongly identified as HMS Hermes (R12) on 26 June 1987.

I think the photo was 1976. I was so board Ark Royal at the time. We were there for the US bi-centennial celebrations.
