Bahrainis Tour American Aircraft Carrier
Over 100 Bahrainis toured the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz during its visit to Bahrain October 24-26. This is only the second ship of its type to visit Bahrain pier-side at the newly opened Mina Khalifa port. Students and professionals from the Bahraini-American Cultural Exchange Society, the General Organization for Youth and Sports, New York Institute of Technology, and the Bahrain Youth Forum Society participated in the tours which included the flight deck, hanger bay, air traffic control, and other parts of the ship. Tour participants also had the opportunity to meet officers and sailors aboard the USS Nimitz and learn about life on the ship.
