51 U.S. Naval Institute... If you had extra change in your pocket this past week, you could have bought two aircraft carriers. The Navy sold the USS John F. Kennedy and USS Kitty Hawk for the low, low price of 1 cent each...I would have bid a nickel each for sure...!!

We need the scrap company to be named! There is some type of funny business going on. Was anyone else allowed to bid on these?
Stickied. Dammit!
Whose son owns a scrap plant?
They've been trying to give Big John away since it was decommissioned, 10 or 15 years ago. I had kinda figured it would land around Boston as a museum or something.
There. Fixed it.
So they basically gave hundreds of thousands worth of scrap, if not.millions .to a scrap.company
Chinese scrap company? Too bad Afghanistan is landlocked.
Should be an easy dig, frens, sometime in the last week, I saw a article about this...lemme see.. BRB

This has to be comms. Combine that with the other days “one trillion dollar platinum coin”
If you consider JFK as one word the counts are 7,11.13,6(3).9. So yeah, it sorta feels like comms.
When can I bid for my f15?
OMG, I saw them both moored together at Bremerton
