The Coronado Bay Bridge in San Diego is modular. You know how they have a naval base in that area? Well in order to get those large carriers out, they have to shut down traffic and dismantle the bridge. It essentially floats, so they can just disconnect a piece or two, tow them out of the way, and let the ship out. Float them back in, reconnect, and let traffic across once more.

That's bull. The carriers **NEVER** pass under the bridge. They dock at North Island--as do the LPH's--well short of the bridge.

"They dock at North Island--as do the LPH's..."

Really? LPH's and LHA's used to dock at 32nd Street Naval Station. When did they start parking them at North Island?
