WELCOME TO SHIPSPOTTING.COM
Description:
The world's first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
Decommissioned and now has her nuclear core removed.
The US Navy is evaluating options for her scrapping after determining towing her around to Bremerton Washington was cost prohibitive.
After the departure of the future USS Gearld R. Ford (CVN 78) she has been moved Pier 2 at Newport News Shipyard allowing the dry dock she has been in to be used for the upcoming ROCH/SLEP of the USS George Washington (CVN 73).
Taken from the waterfront of Newport News VA in front of the Hunter Ingalls office building.
