Final Voyage

The USS Enterprise, the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, pulled into its home port for the final time Sunday, before heading for Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to be scrapped.

Things frequently break down, and spare parts for a ship that's the only one in its class aren't made anymore.

"She's just old, so you got to work around her," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Danielle Almaraz, an electronic technician. "We have to make our own parts sometimes because it just doesn't exist."

Any plans to replace her with another "Enterprise"? I hope we don't wait until we are building Starships to reuse the name.

There are attempts to get another one named but with the current climate I wouldn't hold my breath.

There will probably be some nice stuff from it on the govbid site pretty soon.

Is there a replacement carrier in the wings?

Or is that another don't hold you breath thing?

2015 for the Gerald R. Ford, and then the John F. Kennedy nuclear supercarriers with the new electromagnetic catapults by General Atomics.

Maybe after the Chinese land on the moon the gummint will finally take the leash off of GA. An Orion would be a very worthy "Enterprise".
