I stand corrected. Didn't know the constellation was still active.

They still have Forrestal and Independence as well in war reserve. In Class B storage, which means they could be readied in 20-60 days for war service.

The 3 remaining battleships, even though they are memorials, are also in war reserve, and could be recalled to active duty according to the agreements they have with the Museums.

Most of the Forrestal class is either still active, or could be on short notice. The Kennedy is another old oil burner, I believe it is in the gulf now.
