How much does it cost to run the nimitz class aircraft carrier?

160 million per year just for the personnel. add aircraft fuel and maintenance parts, and you're looking at closer to $400 million per year. add the cost of the carrier ($4.5 billion) and divide it over its lifetime (about 40 years) and you're looking at about $530,000,000 per year which is close to $1,450,000 per day. Carriers launch on average 18 times (with 18 recoveries) per day including time in port and time in shipyads. That means each carrier launch costs $80,600.

If you are thinkin of GOTJ (Gathering Of The Juggalos) it's normally in Il. A normal ticket will only cost you $150.00 each year. This includes a camping space, running water, ect..

They have over 100 bands, a swimming area, stores for face paint, batteries, flashlights, cameras, and FAYGO, rides, med centers just in case, and of course, all the flying Faygo you ask for to be baptized in. Nothing is better then when J or Shaggy soak you in a great soda then launch the half full bottle into the sea of juggalos. The 09 GOTJ will be the tenth so you know it's going to be the wickedest.
