The ship's name is the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76).

Number 68 on a board !!! its not Reagan, its (CVN-68) Nimiz ! Am I right ?

I am not familiar with the code names, but our tour guide told us that it was USS Reagan, named after, I believe, President Reagan...and therefore the name on the photo...But if anyone can confirm, I am happy to change it (I can not see any number 68)

The ship on the map is the Nimitz. My brother is stationed on the Nimitz. Your picture is probably of the Reagan, but the ship on the map is the Nimitz. :)

Ah, yes I see the number 68 on the map. But when I was there, it was Reagan stationed there. I know that the ship is at sea now.

The caption on the map and the first panoramio window misspells the name -- Regan. The correct spelling is Reagan.

I corrected the spelling some time ago on Panoramio, but it will not be reflected on the GoogleEarth for months

Yes, you are absolutely right. The guide must have pointed out to another one just behind it. I changed the name in Panoramio, but I am not sure when the change will be reflected on GoogleEarth.

If you zoom in on the island, you can see 68, if you pan down to the gang plank, you see USS Nimitz CVN-68 quite clearly on it.

yes ya'll are all right. im stationed on the Nimitz. that is my ship in the pic. the reagon is usually parked on the next to us around the corner. but when we are out to sea or if they are out to sea, from time to time we park in each other's spot. so one could see the reagon in that position one time, then the next time the nimitz is there. or maybe the Stennis or the Lincoln who usually come to san diego and use our pier. but yes that is the USS NIMITZ (CVN 68)
