How long does it take a aircraft carrier to stop?

In: Large Ships [Edit categories]

Answer:

Depending on the speed of the ship it could take quite a bit. Even at a slow speed it could take up to a mile or more. You have to remember that if the ship is 1,000 feet long then it is already just under 2/10ths of a mile long itself.
