Summary

Description

An aerial view of the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68) and the British aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal (R09) tied up at piers at Norfolk Naval Station, Virginia (USA), maybe between 14 and 21 August 1978.
Note: The photo may have been taken in 1975 when Ark Royal was having her catapults repaired. Also, Nimitz was having extensive flight deck work in 1978. In the National Archives description, the left hand carrier is wrongly identified as HMS Hermes (R12) on 26 June 1987.

This photograph was taken in 1976. Ark Royal and Nimitz were indeed together again in 1978 at the same position but Nimitz was undergoing extensive flight deck coating repairs. I know because I was there in August 1978 aboard Ark Royal.
