USS Nimitz (CVN-68) is one of the most recognizable warships of the 20th and 21st centuries. The keel for this ultra-modern nuclear aircraft carrier was laid in 1968, and she entered service in 1975, flying the flag of the United States Navy. Nimitz was repeatedly used during the Cold War, Gulf operations, the 1991 war with Iraq, and many other missions in seas around the world – up to modern times, still actively serving in the US Navy. For example, in 1981, F-14 Tomcat fighters operating from Nimitz took part in the famous skirmish over the Gulf of Sidra, where they shot down two Libyan Su-22s.
