The midlife refueling/complex overhaul (RCOH) of a nuclear aircraft carrier represents a tremendously challenging engineering and industrial task. The overhaul of the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) took many years of planning and execution; numerous changes and delays caused significant cost growth. The authors identify changes in processes, planning, and procedures that could lead to better cost and schedule performance for future RCOHs.

The nuclear-powered supercarrier USS Nimitz is the oldest carrier in the US fleet. Commissioned in 1975, CVN-68 is named after famed navy admiral Chester Nimitz and has been at the front line of many naval operations in its 40+ years of service. Nimitz's design and development, construction, sea trials, commissioning, and first cruise are presented in concise, detailed text. Also covered are all of the ship's systems, including electronics, defensive/offensive armament, command and control, and aircraft launching and recovery. Nimitz's military campaigns--including the Gulf of Sidra Incident, Operation Desert Shield/Storm, and Operations Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom--are also covered in detail, including their results. The book concludes with its latest operational deployment, Operation Inherent Resolve, and the ship's current status. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
