On a cold, dreary Thursday in Philadelphia, a smattering of people came to the waterfront to see the former Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CV-67) begin its final journey. Nicknamed “Big John,” the Kitty Hawk class sub-variant began a trip from the U.S. Navy’s Inactive Ships Maintenance Facility to the International Shipbreaking Limited facility in Brownsville, Texas. There it will be cut up and its remnants sold for scrap. . .

I find it disappointing that it won't be retrofitted into a modern day drone carrier.

There's more kickback money to be made building new ships.

Yes. The clitoral comedy ships are illustrative here.

...kickback money...

I read it as (((sold for one cent.))) It's almost as if I can "see the corruption."
