Outdated electronics?

It looks like ol’ Enterprise just might make it to retirement before the coming global conflagration.

MAN, DO I FEEL OLD NOW!
I was in basic training in San Diego in 1974. During a class on the second floor of one of the buildings I happened to look out and see the huge “65” pass over the taller buildings between the room and the bay. It was massive!
That was 36 years ago!
Seems like yesterday.

Never open a boat unless you are charging “time and materials”! Every time you “open up” an older boat for a refit you almost always find about twice the trouble and that almost always leads to twice the initial cost.

...beset by delays, cost overruns and unforeseen problems...
In other words, a typical DoD project.

WellyP, you must have been there done that too! And it’s all real repairs that need to be done! Sometimes wonder how we didn’t kill someone down the hole when the hidden deterioration was uncovered in the yards.

Well, if they decommission her in 2013, she’ll be in tip-top shape as a floating museum and possible return to duty.
