Neat pic, thanks...Cabot was scrapped, along with hundreds of WW II ships, after the war. Oriskany, CV-34, was scuttled as an artificial reef in 2006.
Preservation Attempts (1990-2002)It was designated as a National Historic Landmark on 29 June 1990.[2] The ship spent most of the 1990s tied to a dock in New Orleans. The private groups attempting to preserve her as a memorial were unable to pay creditors, so, on 10 September 1999, the ship was auctioned off by the U.S. Marshals Service to Sabe Marine Salvage. Its designation as a National Historic Landmark was withdrawn on 7 August 2001. Scrapping of the hulk was completed in 2002. Her island, a small stub of metal and glass, was preserved and is on exhibit at the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard NAS Pensacola in Florida since 2007, the last relic of over 100 light and escort carriers of World War II.
