Nepārspējamu mašīnu iekšienē

For forty years, Nimitz class aircraft carriers have delivered US military might wherever it is needed, anywhere on the globe. But now, this legendary design is being phased out and new carriers are planned. But until they're ready, the giant Nimitz ships have to be kept at the forefront of military technology. In this episode, engineer and host Chad Zdenek spends a week on board the USS Carl Vinson to work with the highly trained specialist engineers, mechanics and sailors who keep this incredible floating city in perfect working order during a critical mission in the Pacific - training twenty F18 pilots who have never taken off from an Aircraft Carrier before. This gives Chad the chance to discover the five engineering innovations at the heart of America's most incredible Aircraft Carrier.
