I wish they could have saved the “Big E” (CV-6).

I remember reading an interview with the head of the
Enterprise veterans group in which he said that they'd already secured enough pledges to fund purchasing and restoring the "Big E". They were stunned to learn that she'd been sold to the breakers without even being offered to the group.
Sad, very sad.
