Buy a super carrier for a penny

[Nefarious]

A great ship, with a great service record. She will be ever remembered for the bravery of her sailors and crewmen and this flight deck video will be watched in training videos for years if not decades to come.

My dad joined the Navy in 71 and this was still fresh on the minds of plenty of crew he served aboard on his first deployment on the JFK.

     Sure, buy the ship for a penny, how much for the dock fees and shoreside power?

There have been three posts about history, and like 15 about the carrier itself. None of them have been political.

Also nice to see that your immediate reaction to someone with beliefs different than your own is to silence them.
