quite the depreciation gradient
My kid brother’s old flattop, the USS Kitty Hawk (“Kitty Litter” to the sailors), CV-63, was sold last week to a shipbreaker.
For a penny.
True, it was laid down late in the first Eisenhower administration and launched just under a year before the sib was born, but I imagine he’ll greet the news with a pang. I believe that at the time the ship was decommissioned in 2009 it was the last non-nuclear carrier in the fleet.
