USN John C Stennis Carrier
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Contributor Spyder brings us an amazing (and apparently sanctioned) drone video of the US Navy aircraft carrier John C. Stennis cruising through Puget Sound, Washington en route to base at Bremerton. Launched in 1995, the ship is one of ten Nimitz class nuclear powered carriers which have formed a pillar of US security for decades. It's powered by two nuclear reactors that allow this behemoth to cruise at 30+ knots for months on end. The video was shared with the ship's PR officer prior to upload.

John C Stennis carrier returning to its home port as it sails through public waters of Puget Sound. Before anyone gets all wrapped around the axel, I contacted the PR officer of the ship and shared the vid with him prior to sharing publicly to verify I had not violated any laws or statutes regarding proximity to a Naval vessel. As long as it is not over flown, as long as it is not flown near while in port, and as long as it’s not gone anywhere near while conducting flight operations, then it’s completely legal. Enjoy.
