I know the current Big E is decommissioned and the next one is due to be launched in 2025?
so your idea makes sense
Unless the cost of keeping it operational is just too prohibitive

I was told by people here at FR who know these things that Big E had to be scrapped because the nuclear facility is integrated into the hull and to remove the nuke makes her unable to float.

Did I misunderstand?
