I found out that CVN-68 / USS Nimitz may be coming to San Francisco Fleet Week.  I have been doing some 'research' and here's what I have found below.  I have also searched the Grove Military Frequency Directory 2nd Edition, for 'Nimitz' and 'Hydra'.
 
Does anyone have any more data on radio usage by the Nimitz?  Or will I have to dust off the 'search' key on my scanner? ;)
