| The USS Nimitz, 24 stories high and three football fields long, carries 85 military aircraft and 5,300 Navy personnel, with an average age of 19. Filmed in high-definition video from May to November 2005 during a deployment to the Persian Gulf, CARRIER follows a core group of film participants aboard the USS Nimitz, from the admiral of the strike group to the fighter pilots to the youngest sailors, as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, the rites of passage and the war on terror. |
