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." http://seattletimes.com/html/nationw...rmid=head_main Best Rgards Tom. -- http://fija.org/ |

I hope we don't wait until we are building Starships to reuse the name. |
