Scrap? A more enterprising investor would have bought it and turned it into an off shore, tax free, gambling resort of some sort complete with deck covered sea sand and trees, trap shooting, golf driving range.....etc.....
I don’t know. Warships are made for fit young men with narrow passages, steep ladders and cramped bathroom. Not to mention the knee-knockers (hatchways). And the only elevators are for bringing up bombs from the magazine and moving planes between the hangar deck and flight deck. It would take $100 million to make it anywhere near ready for civilian guests. A better use would be to make it into a floating museum.
IIRC, McCain did graduate at the bottom of his Annapolis class. Loser, all the way around.
RR, yes, graduated at the bottom of his Annapolis class.
I recall reading McCain was hot-dogging under the influence of alcohol the day of his completely avoidable “accident”. The incident was mostly covered up (as well as they could) because of Dad’s influence.
