Daily Press (Newport News, Va.) | By Dave Ress
Nudged by a team of tugs from its pier at Naval Station Norfolk, past the Monitor-Merrimac Bridge Tunnel and the mouth of the James River, the carrier USS John C. Stennis moved Thursday to Newport News Shipbuilding, where it�ll bring work for more than 4,000 of the shipyard�s 25,000 employees over the next four years.
The 1,092-foot long nuclear-powered Nimitz-class carrier is back where it was built and delivered to the Navy in 1995. It is about to undergo a refueling and complex overhaul. That project will keep it in service for another quarter-century.
