A complete shame. Obozo and the leftist want to make sure they can never be decommissioned. Bozo rushed the space shuttle scuttling for the same reason.
Well, a least we didn’t give these wonderful ships to the Chinese.
Arrgh autocomplete. I meant recommissioned.
But the steel will almost certainly wind up over there. It will probably some day sail into NY harbor when the US devalues the currency.
That is an OLD ship. These things were used hard and are worn out. Hulls and frames are stressed, engines are shot, ducting wiring, plumbing go bad, seals and gaskets of all kinds, etc. Better bang for the buck to build new, as every commercial shipping company understands. Merchant ships like container vessels generally are replaced in 20 years.
Returned into commission for what? She was 41 years old and worn out. Money would be better spent on maintaining the carriers still in commission.
Bozo rushed the space shuttle scuttling for the same reason.
Rather than rush the space shuttle into retirement, NASA under Obama scheduled an additional mission. The shuttles in general served longer than originally planned.
