I'd love to see those three flattops together. The sight of all that American steel in one place would be an awesome sight. Still, it isn't prudent to have that many expensive eggs in one basket. Too much risk of something going wrong.

We had four in port here around Christmas time. It is cool to look across the water and see them all sitting there.

Any San Diego Freeper types out there - do I remember rightly?

There's a great picture from right after Desert Storm of four carriers (Midway, Saratoga, Kennedy and Roosevelt) steaming through the Persian Gulf "escorted" by the Missouri and Wisconsin.
