Hey, any historic ship that is preserved is a bonus. It's good that the battleships were saved, I just question the selection process.

The interesting ones were not saved. HMS Warspite, and IJN Nagato for instance.

We do have some very historic Essex class ships on display, and that's a real positive.

But to scrap CV-6 was a national disgrace only exceeded by the two Saturn V's built and not flown.

Buncha nutballs running this country.
