USS JOHN C. STENNIS is 1,092 feet long and towers some 20 stories above the waterline. As a self-contained city, JOHN C. STENNIS has virtually the same amenities as any American city with a comparable population. It has a daily newspaper, radio and television stations, fire department, library, hospital, general store, laundry, two barbershops and even a post office with its own zip code. General Characteristics: Keel Laid: March 13, 1991. Launched: Nov. 11, 1993. Commissioned: Dec. 9, 1995. Builder: Newport News Shipbuilding Co., Newport News; Va. Propulsion system: two nuclear reactors. Main Engines: four. Propellers: four. Blades on each Propeller: five. Aircraft elevators: four. Catapults: four. Arresting gear cables: four. Length, overall: 1,092 feet (332.85 meters). Flight Deck Width: 257 feet (78.34 meters). Area of flight deck: about 4.5 acres (18211.5 m2). Beam: 134 feet (40.84 meters). Draft: 38.4 feet (11.7 meters). Displacement: approx. 100,000 tons full load. Speed: 30+ knots. Planes: approx. 85. Crew: Ship: approx. 3,200 , Air Wing: 2,480. Armament: two Mk-57 Mod 3 Sea Sparrow launchers, three 20mm Phalanx CIWS Mk 15, two Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Systems. Homeport: Bremerton, Wash. The pilot of a Naval Air Station Ocean, Va.-based F-14 Tomcat aircraft was safed after he was accidentally ejected from his aircraft during a landing aboard the JOHN C. STENNIS. STENNIS personnel rescued the radar intercept officer from the pilotless Tomcat as it sat on the flight deck with engines still running. The officers, both of Virginia Beach, Va., were assigned to Fighter Squadron 143, and both were treated for minor injuries by STENNIS medical personnel. The pilot was recovered immediately astern of the carrier and rescued by a helicopter from Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron 5 based at NAS Jacksonville, Fla. The STENNIS ran aground in a shallow area adjacent to its turning basin as it attempted to maneuver near Naval Air Station, North Island (NASNI). Silt clogged the intake pipes to the cooling systems of the nuclear reactors, causing the carrier’s two nuclear reactors to be shut down (one reactor by crew, the other automatically) for a period of 45 minutes. The STENNIS was towed back to its pier for maintenance and observation for the next two days. The cleanup cost was about $2 million.
