Big E's last voyage
After a long and illustrious career, CVN-65, U.S.S. Enterprise, will be decommissioned on December 1st. First deployed in 1962, she's the oldest active duty warship in the fleet, the longest aircraft carrier ever built, the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier and the only vessel in her class.

Re: Big E's last voyage
I always enjoyed seeing the decommissioned ships in Bremerton, I wonder where they'll put this giant?

Has to be done, the ship will be in a sorry state anyway once the reactors have been removed.Wumbologist wrote:They're going to cut up the MOTHERFUCKING ENTERPRISE and sell it for SCRAP?!
It's the scrapping of the original Big E that's unforgivable.
At least a couple of the conventional super carriers are marked for donation as museum ships.

My cousin is onboard! I'm going down to Norfolk next weekend for a welcome home/you-got-promoted party for him. He made Chief during this cruise.

Taken a while ago, I assume. I see F4 flying bricks, F8 Crusaders, A4 Skyhawks, A6 Intruders (or maybe E6 Prowlers?). What are the large aircraft aft? A3 Skywarriors?klr wrote: EDIT: That''s a very famous picture in the OP, with the Long Beach in the middle.

They look more like A-5 Vigilantes. The way the folded wingtips point straight up says A-5. The A-3 wingtips folded back over the main wings.laklak wrote:Taken a while ago, I assume.
