In 1975, Nimitz joined the Atlantic fleet, ending Enterprise's reign as the largest warship in the world. The carrier's flight deck is generally the same as that of the Kitty hawk, but with the cut-off forward flight deck first seen on the John F.Kennedy. Between 1975 and 1985, Nimitz made numerous cruises in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. In 1980, the carrier made a round-the-world deployment. While in the Indian Ocean, she served as the sea borne base for the abortive Teheran hostage rescue mission, Operation Eagle Claw. At the start of the 1981 Mediterranean cruise, the F-14 made its air-to-air combat debut when two VF-41 Tomcats from Nimitz shot down two attacking Libyan Sukhoi su-22 fighters. In 1987, Nimitz transferred from the Atlantic Fleet to the Pacific Fleet, embarking Air Wing Nine which had previously been attached to the USS Kitty Hawk. Due to a shortage of F-14Bs, Nimitz's two Tomcat units transitioned back to the F-14A in early 1992.\u003cbr\u003eParament\u003cbr\u003eItem No 05605\u003cbr\u003eItem Name U.S. CVN-68 Nimitz aircraft carrier 1975\u003cbr\u003eBar Code n\/a\u003cbr\u003eScale 1:350\u003cbr\u003eItem Type Static Kit\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief Length: 968 mm Width: 236mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts 962pcs\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts Metal hull frame and screws\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003eResin Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues 31pcs sprues plus lower hull, upper hull, waterline plate, hangar decks, flight decks and display stand\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes U.S. CVN-68 Nimitz aircraft carrier 1975 version ( just after commissioned)\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date n\/a\u003cbr\u003eMore Features Either waterline version or full hull version can be selected; Include 6 Phantoms, 3 Intruders, 6 Corsair II s, 1 Hawkeye, 1 Vigilante, 2 Vikings, 2 Skywarriors, 1 sea King, total 8 types 22 aircraft with clear canopy, folding wings, especially with clear fuselage and folding rotor on the helicopter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperational Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"This item is brand new from the factory.\"\u003eFunctional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trumpeter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 05605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMSRP:\u003c\/strong\u003e $275.99\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model Kits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trainz SKU for this item is P12123985. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6px !important; color: #d3d3d3 !important; line-height: 8px !important;\"\u003eTrainz Product Id: 12123985\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44120321425530,"sku":"P12123985","price":186.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1260\/4747\/files\/3742444.jpg?v=1778239541","url":"https:\/\/www.trainz.com\/products\/trumpeter-05605-1-350-1975-uss-nimitz-cvn68-aircraft-ship-plastic-kit","provider":"Trainz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
