If I recall correctly, the last aircraft carrier to visit Vancouver was the USS Constellation (CV 64), one of the last steam turbine powered Kitty Hawk class carriers. The newer Nimitz class are a little larger and likely wouldn't fit.

lol, the personnel required to operate one aircraft carrier is like 8,000...which also happens to be how many navy men we have.

Now that's a ship!

The stern has great wharf-appeal.

I've never liked the look of all-white cruise ships. Blue or black hulls just look so much more nautical.

This is very good news for Vancouver.
