Japan To-do:

[edit] Removed text

the Stennis is one of the few aircraft carriers to have a nuclear reactor as its power source

Ummm, not really, it and the other eight (soon to be nine) Nimitz class aircraft carriers each have (or will have) two A4W reactors; That plus the venerable USS Enterprise (CVN-65) with its eight A2W reactors makes ten active nuke carriers, soon to be eleven. The next generation of supercarriers, the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier, will also be nuclear propelled, each with two A1B reactors (which may also replace the A4Ws in the Nimitz class).

So there are two problems here: Firstly, it's not a reactor but two, and secondly, this is the normal power source for a supercarrier. The text removed is both inaccurate and misleading. Andrewa 10:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
