Ever wonder what it’s like aboard an aircraft carrier? So did I. On Friday, I got to tour the USS Nimitz, one of Bremerton’s two home-ported aircraft carriers. I also got to talk with its outgoing captain, John Ring, about being in Bremerton and the work the carrier does globally. Ring relays on the video a fascinating story about how the Nimitz recently helped with diplomatic efforts in the Syrian civil war.

Elsewhere on this week’s video, you’ll learn:

How many sailings the Bremerton fast ferry will make when it begins service in 2017;

How a Bremerton native turned out the film inside old cameras he found at area thrift shops and then wrote a book about it;

What massive 600-home development in West Bremerton just hit a snag;

How Bremerton welcomed the Seahawks to town last Friday for a special rally.
