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. . .

It would be really funny if they sank it to form an artificial reef.

They could fire rockets at it from behind to 'sink' it, while surreptitiously hitting it in the bow with a cruise missile.

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."
