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...

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

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.

Good, whatever it takes to get out carriers scrapped, saves China the trouble.

Ships having the name Enterprise, are the most famous ships in the USN. Especially the one by that name in WW2, in every major battle of the Pacific War.

The name Enterprise is a Naval national treasure, hate to see this one scrapped.

The Big E did a “round the world” tour to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It sailed through the Suez Canal and want all the way to Perth, Australia.

The Enterprise will be scrapped at a Chinese owned port. How many secrets will we pass along to the Chinese?

Wasn’t this carrier once commanded by Kirk Douglas and got caught in a storm and ended up in 1941 the day before Pearl Harbor was attacked?

55 years in commission is a long time. The next USS Enterprise, CVN-80, is already under construction with planned delivery in 2028.

a private scrapyard somewhere in the American South

Unless they are talking about Southern California, how are they going to get it there? Tow it through the Panama Canal?
