Nemo me impune lacessit
After being ripped off for YEARS, the Trump Department of State has announced US government ships will now transit the Panama Canal FOR FREE.


This will save taxpayers MILLIONS of dollars per year. Another big win!

Can a battleship traverse the Panama canal?
No, a battleship cannot traverse the Panama Canal.

Can an aircraft carrier fit in the Panama Canal?

An aircraft carrier can indeed fit within the width of the Panama Canal, but the answer to whether it can transit through the canal is more nuanced:
  • Dimensions: Modern aircraft carriers, like the U.S. Nimitz-class or Ford-class, are around 109 meters (358 feet) wide at the beam. The original Panama Canal's locks are approximately 33.5 meters (110 feet) wide, making it impossible for these large carriers to pass through the old locks.
  • Panama Canal Expansion: The Panama Canal underwent a significant expansion project, which was completed in 2016, introducing the Neo-Panamax locks. These new locks can accommodate ships with a maximum beam of 49 meters (160.7 feet) and a length up to 366 meters (1,200 feet).
    • The width of modern aircraft carriers does not exceed the 49-meter limit of the Neo-Panamax locks, but there's more to consider:
