Kitty Hawk?
The Enterprise date on that page looks like it was last updated in December 2012. Sounds like they need an update there.

Jeff I had posted the link in a eairler post. #
I see that now. Way to go.
Isn't the Kitty Hawk really the only one we have that is officially "in reserve?"
I mean they are dismantling the Enterprise already, and the others have sat around for a long time. I suppose the JFK is newer, but it seems it was in pretty bad shape when it went in...rode hard and put up wet.
Anyhow, I know they are still tryinbg to get the JFK to be a museum. The Saratoga group gave up on that and pitched in their people and the money they had collected into the JFK effort.
This would be the first true "super carrier" museum if it comes about.
I am thinking about doing a thread about all five of the current US Aircraft Carrier musems with a lot of detail and pics of each, including the links to their sites, and the location.

What about the USS Lexington (CV-16) down in Corpus Christie, Texas? Doesn't she count as a Midway Class CV?

The USS Lexington, CV-16, was a World War II Essex Class Carrier. Launched in 1943 and fought in World War II. She was refit in the 1950s with the angled deck and other modernizations and then served until 1991.
Visit the following site I have created which lists and details all of the .
I am thinking about making that a thread here on SD.
Well, we will have to see. They seem very organized, and the group that had been gathering money for the Saratoga has now thrown in with the JFK effort and combined their funds and efforts with that of the JFK...so they are getting closer.popeye said:
With what all they plan, I have no doubts that once it was done, they would profitably sustain themselves...it's just getting enough denero to get started.

these groups have great web sites but without civic support all will fail. The Forrestal group had a very slick website. They wanted to move the ship to Baltimore. The Ranger group wanted to move her to Portland OR. All failed.

I know I've posted that before but..The USN is not in the ship museum business. They do donate the ship. Please read.. the USN will repo a ship if it not properly maintained.
