I’d hoped the City of San Diego would have preserved the USS CONSTELLAION (CV-64) vice USS MIDWAY (CV-41). I heard that USS SARATOGA (CV-60) is too far gone for a museum ship. That leaves CV-64 and USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV-67).
I saw the Saratoga berthed next to the USS Iowa in Newport RI a few years back, and while the Iowa looked like it could have put to sea, the Saratoga looked sad.
The oxidized haze gray paint had that chalky-whitish look to it, and there was something that looked derelict about her.
Sad.
