Funny - the carrier was nicknamed ‘USS Decrepid’ during the war because it always seemed problem-plagued.

I toured her back in 1987. Pretty impressive, even back then.

I hope they pull this off. I've toured both Intrepid and now Midway in San Diego. Carriers are darn impressive ships.

Why has the price doubled for repairs? Unions working their magic at the shipyard?
