An aircraft carrier is essentially a small city floating in the ocean. Large ones, such as the Nimitz class of aircraft carriers, carry up to 6000 people all at once. Of these, 3200 take care of essential functions whereas another 2500 people are directly involved with the aircraft in some way. Although the ship looks enormous, every compartment of it is jam-packed, making it a nightmare for anyone who is claustrophobic. It contains everything a small city needs, including food, sleeping quarters, recreation quarters, and even a post office. The bunk beds are crammed together so closely that crew members can practically touch each other, which means there is little privacy on board this vessel. Many people who work below deck never see the sun until after their rotation is over and it is time to go home.
