Or maybe that was the Constellation…
From the webs:
On 7 August 2003, Constellation’s commissioning pennant was hauled down and her deck log closed. The ship was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 2 December 2003. Her legacy might best be remembered today in the words of President Reagan from 1981: “Let friend and foe alike know that America has the muscle to back up its words, and ships like this and men like you are that muscle . . . you are America’s Flagship.”
I did some work on the drydock in Bremerton. The Constellation was parked there as we did the work underneath her. Her hull was supported by a whole bunch of wood beams. It was a bit odd to be working under tons of a “modern” ship that was supported by wood. (I would have thought a more technological solution would have arisen.)
I tried to put off the thought of an earthquake.
