Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carriers Don't Last Forever

August 17, 2014 by PunditGuy Leave a Comment

An interesting story of the dismantling of the USS Enterprise, in service from 1962 thru 2012.

Article 2726890 2092D8FB00000578 453 634x365

The Enterprise, the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, protected the nation’s interests from the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 to the war in Afghanistan in 2012. Now retired from service, it sits in Pier 2 at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries.

She’s seen a lot of action.
