USS JFK turned into razor blades

The Kennedy and the Kitty Hawk are being scrapped.

Sad

My cousin was a BT1 ( boiler tender first class) aboard JFK while we were both in the service. I had an outstanding invite to visit when they made port - but Big John was an east coast boat and I was on the west.

Pity... I would have loved to see the radioroom on that puppy...

A penny each!? What's that all about? I guess remediation of all the HAZMAT on board kind of drives the recycling cost up.

It explains it in the story.  Kind of amazing that these ships can't continue service with some upgrades, but then I don't know much about ships.

I wonder if they plan to create any memorabilia from the material for sale to the public.  I think that might be a profitable venture.
Why is it so?

I don't know. If there was funding for turning them into floating museums, one could argue that.

On my first trip to Australia a few years back, I went to the back of the plane and noticed it had ashtrays. HOLY F! Smoking on passenger jets was widely banned in the mid 90s and early 2000s. I was thinking, "How old is this plane?" I was thinking, "Who is the pilot, Lindbergh?"

Smoking is not a risk factor for mesothelioma.

Combined with asbestos smoking increases the risk of Mesothelioma.

That's as far as I got in the story, because it started whining about my adblocker, so I closed out that window.
