I served on board that ship. I’m hoping once they remove all the nuclear waste they might put it on display somewhere. I’d love to tour it. If I had the chance I could probably find my bunk and the CATCC where I worked.
I don’t think a decision has been made yet. I have read different stories on complete destruction to having it just as you said.
Id like to see it sold to Taiwan, and with a agreement to train the navy there on operations. along with a hundred aircraft, escorts, a few attack subs also.
I also made 3 cruises aboard the Enterprise in the latter half of the 1960’s. I was in the air wing with fighter squadron VF-96. I worked the flight deck as a trouble shooter.
