So, let's scrap all of the original super-carriers. Sounds like the same guys who made the decision to scrap the Big E (CV-6). I've heard they want to keep the JFK (CV-67) and turn her into a museum. Gag.....

I love visiting warships and seeing their museums, but at a certain point you just have to let some of them go. It's expenses and work to maintain one of those as a museum, and I doubt many of them make a profit.
Plus some of them end up as good museums (the battleship north carolina is fantastic) and some of them end up being very mediocre (the one at the Nautilus museum in Norfolk is rather disappointing, you can't go into nearly as much of the ship as some of the others I've been on) |

Well, there are 4 modified Essex's (Yorktown, Lexington, Intrepid and Hornet) and Midway but that's it. None are in their original configuration. Ranger wouldn't be in her original configuration either but she would be closer than the others. Her flight deck and basic silhouette didn't change much over the decades. The others were straight deck modified to angle deck.
We have eight battleships preserved and, what, two cruisers (1 heavy, 1 light CLG) preserved as museum ships? Don't know how many destroyers but I can think of three off the top of my head and I don't know how many submarines. We should keep one of the tear drop shaped nuke boats but doesn't look like the Navy's going to do that either. It would be nice to be able to keep a representative from the major classes of ships/boats and major generational advances. Would it be expensive? Yes, but historical preservation, I think, is worth it. In the big picture, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the budget the Navy, or the FSA for that matter, use each year. I would absolutely love to be able to explore a relatively modern super-carrier. The size is amazing on an Essex let alone a Forrestal. It was also a shame when they scrapped the Des Moines and the Cabot. I'd also like to see one of the old turbo-electric battleships like the West Virgina or Tennessee. Maybe Pennsylvania, Maryland or California or one of the other Pearl Harbor survivors. |

The trouble with museums is that they cost money to operate and virtually no museum generate revenue via admission fees or membership to pay for itself. Many museums require some sort of underwriting, foundation support, wealthy donors or worse, government subsidies via taxes.

This becomes a shooting range (big fucking deck) with amenities, (it's a carrier. It has a few rooms) and a museum. You could have 100 yard targets from midship to bow, 25 yard targets from midship to port side and all kinds of sporting clays off the back. Tell me you wouldn't pay $35 a month to shoot there? |

Sorta proves the point. We can't maintain all the museums we have. This one will cost a fortune to not scrap, just like fixing the Texas, where they are going to build a dry dock for her... $30 million. She just leaks too much. Ideally they need to be pulled from the water. |

Every Ship museum I am familiar with is barely surviving. The Texas foundation needs donations to dry dock it permanently! The Olympia might be worth saving if it can be restored.
I would argue the Iowa and Wisconsin should have been scrapped too. Can you really run four viable battleship museums in addition to the three we already had? |

Doing so leaves a couple of "small" holes running through the middle portions of the ship from the flightdeck down to the reactor departments. Closing those holes, rewelding the decks and bulkheads is going to be a bitch. |
