USS Enterprise docks in Marmaris Bay in Turkey
MARMARIS (A.A) - U.S. aircraft carrier USS Enterprise on Tuesday docked in the southwestern Turkish bay of Marmaris amidst strict security measures.
A 2.5 km wide perimeter of security pontoons was set up around the world's first nuclear-powered supercarrier as two Turkish coastguard boats patrolled the bay.
Small boats carried in groups the ship's crew to the Marmaris port.
USS Enterprise is the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. She is nicknamed the "Big E" and it measures 342 meters in length, as the longest naval vessel in the world.
Her 94,781 tons displacement ranks her as the 11th-heaviest supercarrier, after the 10 carriers of the Nimitz class of the U.S. navy.
