Would an aircraft carrier be even larger? -- nm - Krusty May 22, 09:21 3

  - The U.S.S. Bataan is 843′ in length. The U.S.S. Gerald Ford is 1,093′ in length. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 22, 10:06 1
    - Interesting. Thanks!! -- nm - Krusty May 22, 10:26
Thanks! I'm not good with the names and it looked like an aircraft carrier to my ignorant eyes. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 09:20 1
- Oh, I looked all that stuff up :) All I knew was that it looked too small to be an aircraft carrier (a US one, at least) -- nm - Roger More May 22, 09:23
