Isn't it the oldest aircraft carrier in the fleet?Fourth oldest, commissioned 7 September 1968; younger than Kitty Hawk, 29 April 1961; Constellation, 27 October 1961; and Enterprise, 25 November 1961.
Seems like a lot of rust picking to do on those oldies.But they still outperform any French aircraft carrier. Why are the gunwhales of a French ship lined with trees?
