Gordon Shumway Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It seems sad, but unfortunately there are only so many places able to, say float these carries as museums. They are more valuable to cut up and reprocess materials than to keep floating unused with costs to keep such as say some museums. Port space costs money, these super carriers are only limited to where they can be floated as museums... Sad yes, but life is like that. Their memories will live on by all who served on these ships, constructed them and to all who appreciate the service of these ship as US citizens and as fans around the world of military history. IE: A new CVN, Ford Class, USS Enterprise is just around the corner and she will carry the name Enterprise proudly among her sisters be they Nimitz Class or new Ford Class for the USN for decades to come.

caudleryan Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Was just looking at them this morning. Sad indeed, but it is the legacy and the memories that are carried on for future generations to cherish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
