Another one bites the dust. I remember when she pulled into Pearl she was always given the best spot to tie up, the long stretch in front of MidPac (and the O Club). She was unique and always impressive.

The ex-USS LONG BEACH (CGN-9) has been tied up at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The ship is a hulk (every bit of superstructure above the main deck is removed). There remains a floating hull and that's about it. Scrapping the reactors ought to be interesting — big time HazMat.

Would look good alongside the USS Iowa in San Pedro and close to its namesake city.

I was decommed both the California (CGN 36) and the Arkansas (CGN 41) cant imagine better ships. I blame Clinton for pulling the plug on nuclear cruisers. You only have to pull into a gas station once every 20 years or so, but you had better load up on snacks when you do!
