Oh I agree completely. I seem to remember that even the Knox class FFs were giving foreign navies hell with their 1200 PSI plants and they're a lot smaller than a CV. I was just reminiscing that from a sailor's POV, the mothball decomm sucks.

The Navy's done some weird choices in the pate decade or so. Amazing though KH was the oldest of her class and JFK and out lasted them all. Only Enterprise remains from that era and it really should be taken out soon.
