Κρήτη: Έδεσε στη Σούδα το θηριώδες αεροπλανοφόρο των ΗΠΑ, “Eisenhower”

Έφτασε το πρωί της Κυριακής 28/04, στη Σούδα το πυρηνοκίνητο αεροπλανοφόρο «USS Dwight D. Eisenhower».

Το θηριώδες πλοίο των ΗΠΑ μεταφέρει χιλιάδες άτομα πληρώματος, τα οποία θα παραμείνουν στα Χανιά μέχρι και τις 2 Μαΐου, όπου και το πλοίο θα αναχωρήσει.

*Διαβάστε εδώ: Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης: Η ψήφος των ευρωεκλογών δεν μπορεί να είναι ψήφος αψήφιστη και επιπόλαιη, αλλά ψήφος ευθύνης, πραγματικής προόδου και δημοκρατικής εγρήγορσης

Στη συνέχεια, μετά την αναχώρησή του, θα φτάσει στα Χανιά και το «Charles de Gaulle», το οποίο θα καταπλεύσει στις 2 Μαΐου και θα παραμείνει ως τις 7 Μαΐου.

Λίγα λόγια για το Eisenhower

Πρόκειται για το δεύτερο αεροπλανοφόρο της κλάσης «Νίμιτς», το οποίο καθελκύστηκε το 1975 και εισήλθε σε υπηρεσία το 1977. Παρά την ηλικία του, το πλοίο διατηρεί εντυπωσιακές δυνατότητες, καθώς μπορεί να μεταφέρει μέχρι 90 αεροσκάφη.

Έχει πλήρωμα που πλησιάζει τα 5.800 άτομα, εκ των οποίων περίπου 3.400 είναι καθαρά το πλήρωμα του πλοίου, ενώ περίπου 2.400 είναι όσοι υπηρετούν στην αεροπορική πτέρυγα που μεταφέρει.

Έχει μήκος 333 μέτρων, το εκτόπισμά του ξεπερνάει τις 100.000 τόνους αλλά, παρά το μέγεθός του, μπορεί να «πιάσει» ταχύτητα 30 κόμβων, καθώς παράγει ενέργεια από δύο πυρηνικούς αντιδραστήρες και η συνολική ισχύς στις τέσσερις προπέλες φτάνει τους 260.000 ίππους.

Το «Eisenhower» είχε ξαναβρεθεί στη Σούδα το 2021 και μάλιστα τότε το είχε επισκεφθεί ο Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης.
