I'm 100% against sinking her.
I totally doubt my voice means anything.
But I just sent up my words of concern.
We have plenty of ports. This carrier should be made a museum.
The list of museums that was posted don't have the traffic they need because the locales don't promote them.
Any school within stomping distance should have these carriers as part of history lessons.
We have an American Legion that JUST received a helicopter for display.
Every time I drive by there are always kids with their faces pressed against the fence wanting a closer look.
So kids are interested in these attractions.
The communities that host these vehicles need to be held accountable for teaching them.
Otherwise, they shouldn't receive federal funds.
Communities usually don't realize how much it costs to maintain these floating museums (and nor do the citizens who must fund it).
These things are necessary, it helps to save lives.
If I was on the city council and the government told me that I would lose federal funds unless I developed an educational program approved by the desk jockies in DC, I'd sue the charitable organization running the boat until they went broke, and then tell the navy to come haul it off and send it to the ship breakers.
