I believe 30k tonnes would be a Destroyer. Carriers range up to 90k tons. Also, in case a normal post in this thread wouldn't make it... Thank you very much, especially during the long underways. I'm a sailor on a Destroyer that was stuck in the Persian Gulf for about 60 days straight. Unreps, mail, gifts from home... I didn't care about the hard work manually tugging a rugged steel cable across the water on rolling ships, because I knew we were getting something, and that kept our morale up when the deck was hot enough to instantly vaporize any water that fell on it. Your job makes ours easier, and is crucial, to the ship and the crew. Honestly, sincerely and respectfully, thank you for helping me make it through the deployment!

I used to be a part time lifeguard and didn't find very much money in the job. How well off would you say you are compared to the satisfaction and enjoyment of the work? <-- Former lifeguard who loved his job

As a former lifeguard, white shirt and red shorts. Though I do love blue so probably Navy if I had that option. Definitely.
