I prefer the term "aeronautically enhanced"...

to propellor head, but that's just a personal opinion. A Nimitz class carrier is an impressive piece of hardware, all right. Since this one isn't scheduled to become operational until somewhere around 2009, it'll be interesting to see what enhancements will be included in the ship. I've heard the Navy is experimenting with electromagnetic braking and catapaults. Perhaps those systems will be included on the USS Bush. One idea I've heard is using electromagnetic braking to store energy that can later be used for launching aircraft.
