End of an Era

I had the privelege of visiting this ship in the late 80's when it was docked at Alameda along with the Carl Vinson.

 

linky

 

It was truly "one of a kind" as the prolific Nimitz class replaced this prototype nuclear carrier design.

if star trek taught me anything, it's that there will always be another enterprise

Delaying the christening of the USS Bubba would be a better move. ;-)

With an "End of an era" title I thought you were going to link us to a story about Eddie Van Halen retiring.

Having served on a cruiser that was way past its due, I can testify how dangerous these babies get past a certain point. I'm sure the crew, while saddened, is glad the deed finally getting done as she probably should have be taken out of service a decade ago.
