why don't we just sell them a couple of our retired carriers? I think it's because by the time that we get rid of a carrier it's ready to go ... exception being the ones Krintoon retired early.
Are those things still around somewhere ?

I'll have to check ... several still on duty were supposed to be retired ... like the Kitty Hawk ... I know we have all those other ships in storage ... seems like we'd have a carrier or two ... one is a floating museum of course ... I'll take a look at FAS ...

I thought the Independence was still sailing ... I know at least one carrier is overdue for decom ... unless they got cut up for scrap I would think the Ranger and/or Saratoga are still around ... Navy guys? what's up with these ships?
