SEPTEMBER 10, 1979 - May 26, 1980 THIRD MEDITERRANEAN AND INDIAN OCEAN CRUISE Nimitz began 1979 with sea trials. On February 12, Captain J. Fi. Batzler relieved Captain Gaskill to become the ship's third Commanding Officer. The following day Nimitz departed Norfolk for Refresher Training and returned to Norfolk on March 10. During periods of carrier qualification and while in port, Nimitz served as the setting for a motion picture, The Final Countdown starring Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen and Katherine Ross. Nimitz' third Mediterranean Cruise began on September 10, 1979. The first three months passed uneventfully and the crew enjoyed liberty in Rota, Spain, Naples, ltalyg Athens, Greece, and Tunis, Tunisia. Events in Iran and Afghanistan dramatically changed the deployment schedule. Following Christmas liberty in Naples, Italy, Nimitz got underway very early on January 4, 1980 for the indian Ocean. Steaming continuously for 19 days with the nuclear powered cruisers California and Texas, Nimitz arrived on station in the Arabian Sea on January 23, relieved USS Kitty Hawk and became flagship for Commander Task Group SEVENTY. On her 125th day at sea, May 7, 1980, Nimitz was relieved by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower QCVN-693 at what had come to be known as Gonzo Station. Nimitz' homecoming on May 26 was the largest given to any carrier battle group returning to the United States since the end of World War ll. They were greeted by President and Mrs. Carter, members of Congress, military leaders and thousands of families and friends.
