USS Enterprise head On

Enterprise at flank speed

When you look at this, it make you wonder why they dont roll over, as they look to top heavy.
 
Good question Drone_Pilot. I tried a search for technical drawings to see whether the hull of these things are also wide. They're not. As sharp as a knife! How the hell do they stabilise ships like this?
 
:eek: I'm feeling seasick just thinking about it all. But I'm thouroughly impressed. sal;
 
USS ENTERPRISE - the Navy's eighth ship to bear the name - was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. During her more than 50 years of service she has set many records and milestones including steaming with a speed of more than 40 knots during her sea trials after construction. Later, she became the first nuclear carrier to transit the Suez Canal and the first carrier to operate the F-14 fighter aircraft. Additionally, the ENTERPRISE is still the longest warship ever put to sea.

Deactivated at Naval Base Norfolk, Va., on December 1, 2012, the ENTERPRISE was towed to the nearby Newport News Shipbuilding Shipyard at Newport News, Va., for dismantling on June 20, 2013. Defueling of ENTERPRISE's last reactor took place at Newport News in December 2016. She will now be prepared for the tow to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Wash., for the final dismantling. At the moment, scrapping is scheduled to be completed by 2025.
