A contemporary marine and aviation painting by Nigel Morris, depicting the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68) at sea. The work is executed in oil or acrylic on canvas-textured board and features the carrier in the mid-ground, identifiable by the hull number 68 on the island structure. A pair of F-14 Tomcat fighter jets are shown in formation flight above the vessel. The scene is set at sunset or sunrise, with a warm-toned sky and distant mountains on the horizon, accompanied by two smaller escort ships. The painting is signed and dated Nigel Morris 97 in the lower right corner. It is presented in a simple, moulded wooden frame of a light brown tone.
