One night while on board the USS Nimitz, and sitting in Read Admiral John Miller’s “office”, the bloggers and I listened while he explained the important role the USS Nimitz, the strike group and the Navy play. Admiral Miller explained to the group how the Nimitz was ready to go on a deployment, and he describes where they could go and the role of the Navy in other parts of the world. The sounds of the fighter jets taking off and landing provides interesting background audio. The podcast is 12 minutes.
