Yes, it is a sad ending. However, US Navy built 8 conventionally powered Cold War Super- carriers. And until now still possessed 7 of the 8.USS America CV-66 was sunk in 2005. Until now some have expressed expectation the others would also be sunk - perhaps simpler that scrapping, and separate out good metal, reusably stuff, and then everthing that would be considered hazardous waste. Thank for the link.
