under plans outlined in a draft environmental impact statement. You'll be able to see your tax dollars burning in a giant money bonfire from space...

This will aggravate Putin’s 16 different terminal cancers, and his Parkinson’s & steroid abuse.

My mother and father met while working at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in 1950.
I showed up two years later.

I would think so. I believe there are only a couple of yards certified to fuel or decommission reactors.

Thought so myself but was just asking given I think they are still consider ‘secret’/’top secret’? Been a decade or so since I worked a carrier (was at NNS, worked carriers only flight deck and above).

I was stationed at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in 1968...
I was on the Commissioning Crew of the (you guessed it) USS Puget Sound...

Sad to see the Big E scrapped.

Many ships that are now in mothballs should be refurbished and sent back to sea to help counter the ChiCom threat.

That was my ship from about 1981 to 1983.
She was based in Alameda, Ca.
I did my reserve at the Oakland Naval Base.
The Oakland Naval Base is no more. Was sold during peacetime.
just like Treasure Island (SF) is not owned by the Govt. anymore either.

Why not just make it into a museum? Set some decommissioned fighter planes on the deck and charge people to go see it.
To: july4thfreedomfoundation
Apparently you haven’t seen the USN’s plan to decommission 33 ships & subs in the next 12 months. Includes a bunch of LCS (Little Crappy Ships) that are just a few years old and many Cruisers.
To: packagingguy
sell it to Taiwan or Japan for 1000$
