Why not sell it to Brazil or India, both of which are seeking carriers?
I’m sure we’d get more than the couple of million it will go for, for scrap.

Maybe they do, but the laws out there are extremely nutburger about scrapping ships. Which would mean cuting into business profits and/or making it not worth doing there.

I wish they close all the water tight doors and use her for target practice and show all of these anti carrier yahoos how hard it is to actually sink an air craft carrier.

The USS Enterprise cannot be too far behind.

I believe scrap bronze is only running about $1.50 a pound and with this ship's propellers at about 25 tons (guesstimate), it seems to me that these scrapyards are missing out on some big bucks.
It would be great to see them strike a commemorative coin and sell 'em at around $10 a pop, and rake in the dough.
Years back, I bought one made from the propellers of the USS Olympia (Span Am War) and feel I have a nice piece of history.
