I remember reading about that on the NAS Pensacola website.

You scared me! I thought that it was an active carrier at first, but then I read the article.

What a great tribute to a great ship!

It was also reported on this site here: New life for US warship on seabed

Now what the hell are we going to do with the nimitz? It would be spectacular to see that thing 'retire' in the same fashion.

I don't think the Nimitz is going anywhere anytime soon. It's still relatively new and in good operating condition. The Oriskany was an older carrier from the Vietnam era (in fact, that was the carrier that Sen. John McCain was flying off of when he was shot down -- he transferred there after the Forrestal fire) and too old and too small to support today's carrier ops.

Do you mind if we bring some company to your carrier?
