Nimitz back in port
The USS Nimitz returned to Navy Station Everett on Friday after a brief trip to the San Francisco Bay for the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sailors in their dress whites lined the rails of the aircraft carrier’s deck May 28 as the warship passed beneath the bridge, with thousands of people watching.
