What does this number measure?
The ship's official brochure gives a length of 1 106 feet. Using the international foot of 0.3048 m, the conversion gives 337.1088 m, shown as approximately 337.1 m. This reference compares that longitudinal extent of the aircraft carrier, from its forwardmost to its aftmost point; any aircraft visible on the deck are illustrative decoration. Other general class fact sheets give 1 092 feet; that alternative reference is not substituted for the ship's brochure without establishing what it includes. The ship was commissioned on 22 July 2017. The drawing's length does not encode displacement, reactor power or aircraft count.
Compare the stated dimensions
The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
Source and limitations
Documented value for the ship CVN 78; the exact international-foot conversion is applied to a rounded dimension. Other class publications give 1 092 feet: the reference from the ship's brochure is explicitly retained, without presenting them as two identical measurements.
Interpreted profile of the ship in the documented configuration described. Horizontal overall length calibrated; complete hull visible, with artistic details and equipment. Non-photographic illustration.
Entry into service: 2017.
