Re: Today's US Navy Hi-res Photos!
She has plenty of fight left in her and there are places where that fight can be used right now.
Anyhow, she should serve another 3+ years, as originally planned. Too much cost cutting in areas that are getting to the bone, when we have so many other areas where untold billions could be cut...like studies of the mating habits of various species of snales, like billions in foreign aid to countries who out and out belligerent to the US.
Oh well...I just hate to see this workhorse decommissioned before her replacement has even slid off the ways.
IMHO, they should not decommission this vessel until the USS Gerald R. Ford is complete, through trials, and commissioned.

I hop she finds her way into a good port as a nice museum and remains in happy retirement with some of her decommissioned air wing on the deck Seeing a ship like her sold for scrap breaks my heart.
