Relive Valued Moments With this Astonishing and Captivating CVN-76 USS Ronald Reagan Model Ship

About the USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76:

USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) is the ninth and largest Nimitz class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. She was laid down on February 12, 1998; launched on March 4, 2001; christened by Nancy Reagan; and commissioned on July 12, 2003. She is first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the late President Ronald Reagan. Traditionally, very few ships of the Navy were named after a person who was alive at the time of the christening, but recently the number has been increasing. President Reagan was not able to attend the launch or the commissioning due to Alzheimer's disease.

Ronald Reagan displaces approximately 95,000 tons of water fully loaded, has a top speed of over 30 knots, and can sail for over 20 years before needing to refuel. She is nearly as long as the Empire State Building is tall at 1,092 feet. The ship carries more than 5,500 sailors and over 80 aircraft.

During her maiden deployment, Ronald Reagan conducted operations in support of the continuing war on terror. From January 4 to July 6, 2006, she was at the western Pacific and Persian Gulf, participating in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, and Exercise Valiant Shield 2006.
