ryanchilders259 Could have sold it for a bigger profit

mckeonekert I toured the boat years ago. Pretty cool. I didn't know that the aircraft are not on board when the ship is docked because of Pearl Harbor. They also said the landing deck can raise and lower a significant amount in rough seas. What a challenge to land an aircraft.

longnosemafia Buddy of mine served and has tried for years to get it as a museum. They even had the funds and a place set up for it. Such a shame they will scrap it

jdesterhouse I was stationed on the Kitty Hawk in 1992-1994, and I would love once last chance to walk the flight deck. I have lots of good memories and still have several great friends. @terribleterry702
- terribleterry702 @jdesterhouse heartbreaking!! They should turn it into a museum. They could have given us a chance to walk aboard one more time. 1 like
andrewjones8373 Lease it to one of our Pacific allies. That should give China pause. Royal Australian navy with a carrier with f35s.@laruetactical. Or Japan, they have behaved long enough to deserve to get so. 1 like

- aimenhalim @andrewjones8373 it takes years, decades even to get proficient in carrier operations. Not something most countries can put money towards
- andrewjones8373 True. China and India are both learning now. So it might be a good idea to teach our allies before the Chinese master it, maybe give India a leg up too.
- andrewjones8373 @laruetactical it will look pretty funny as a pile of paperclips
- aimenhalim @andrewjones8373 India has had several decades of carrier operations, they've been operating them since the late 60s. The issue is even when their experience, their aircraft carriers don't stray very far into the India ocean. From what I recall, they haven't even done a port visit to another country with their aircraft carrier. Part of it is due to how complicated it is to have carrier based operations far from your own coastline. Other part is that the carrier they bought from Russia was complete garbage and is extremely unreliable. Quite frankly, it's an extremely expensive endeavor and the only countries in the world that have done carrier based operations successfully have been the US, UK, and to a smaller extent France. And obviously Japan during WWII
