Glad to see I'm not the only one that's a little jealous of that particular homeowner.

You may even tell your friends that you have 3 US aircraft carriers guarding outside your house too. Hahaha....

I would love to have that house in the background. Image looking at supercarriers each morning (never mind they're decommissioned ones).

Correct, Kitty Hawk is the other carrier visible, then on down the line from them were Constellation (CV 64) and Ranger (CV 61). I'll hopefully get the other carriers uploaded tomorrow.

If the picture of Google Earth is recent, the other carrier must be the Kitty Hawk (CV 63).

There seems to be another aircraft carrier next to her ? Waiting for scrap as well ? Also another Forrestal class ?
