Da gummint will start accepting bids to dispose of the U.S.S. Long Beach in deactivated storage @ N.S. Bremerton, WA. The Long Beach is the ship in her class and was suposed to be the first ship in a new class of nuclear powered Cruisers that never came to be. All the nuke items have been removed including the plant. |

Too bad they aren't doing the same with the USS Texas (CGN-39). Would be nice to see her next to her forerunner (BB-35) down in Houston. |

You want the TEXAS cut up and sold for scrap?? That's exactly what the plans for the Long Beach are, 97 bazllion razorblades. |

While they are auctioning for scrap, it wouldn't be the first time a ship or aircraft was sold for scrap and then (legally) purchased or donated to a museum. The USS Cabot was partially saved this way. At least half the flying warbirds were acquired this way as well. |

I'm betting on a serious drop in the price of MACH 3 razor blades |
