In the hangar on board the United States Navy aircraft carrier Nimitz (1972) while she is anchored at Spithead during her shakedown cruise in the North Atlantic and European waters. Bunting is hanging from the deckhead as the ship prepares to open to visitors. The photographer is looking to starboard in the aft end of the hangar showing the starboard aft hangar side door open and the elevator at hangar deck level. Some of the ship's boats are stowed in the aft end of the hangar. The negative is slightly unsharp.
