The aircraft carriers cost billions of dollar now and they were millions of dollars during world war two. When you consider the price of metal and the cost to assemble that much metal it is mind bogling they don't cost a trillion dollars once they put in all the interior things and computers and other screens. They are as big as a city and house over 5000 people. They now have the comforts of home and base. They video conference their loved ones now too.

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.


Is the USS Enterprise a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier?

She is literally one-of-a-kind. In 1958, they planned to make six nuclear-powered carriers and call them the Enterprise class carriers, but they cost too much so they only made the one named USS Enterprise. Nimitz class carriers were built later. Although the Nimitz class carriers are loosely based on the USS Enterprise, the USS Enterprise is not in the Nimitz class and is quite different. So, no. The USS Enterprise is not a Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier.
