My best friend is currently a LT CMD and navy test pilot. He told me funny stories from that ship. It was well past its prime to put it mildly.
For example: He told me stories of the showers only turning on for a matter of seconds then off for 20 seconds then back on. He said you only could pray that no call came on while you were in the shower because you would be suiting up covered in soap.
It was the last desiel carrier left.
He just finished testing and syncing in the new George Bush's cables and landing systems this past summer. Incredilble to hear what these guys go through.
Ok sorry, back on topic:
Although Lake Winni is huge The carrier would take up too much room. Other then the logistics of it, getting it their etc. What town / bay do you think it would fit in? I can't think of one.
