Thanks. I was just wondering why the government would send a nuclear carrier to the gulf when it was scheduled to be decommissioned within a year. I kind of felt that the government would send one of the convectional warfare class ships but not a nuclear carrier. But I wasn't in the navy so I didn't know.

Remember the Maine is suggesting one thing. Could you clarify what you meant by

It's obvious, think about it. The ship is due to be decommissioned, if it is sunk, it's no loss.

Except for the dead of course.

It's a nuclear aircraft carrier, not what I would say it's no lose.
However, the government would save money because the cost to decommission a nuclear ship is very expensive.

And lots of money for the arms industry.

Well that might be why these people think this

Where's all the navy people in this forum?

I decommissioned USS Iowa - we did! Had a North Atlantic Cruise in 89, decom'd 90.

OK thanks.
One more question is it a normal practice to send a nuclear powered ship into a hostel region when it's soon to be decommissioned?

Sure - why not. Just because a ship is being decommissioned, doesn't mean it's on it's last legs.

Isn't that what being decommissioned means? going into the mothball fleet?
I'm a land lover I really don't know.

Yes - but it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. The Iowa, for example, I forgot how many times that thing was commissioned/decommissioned. Three maybe? Don't remember -

There have been many ships decom'd that are recom'd.

There are also ships that are decom'd, sold to foreign countries, or sunk as targets.

Or scrapped altogether

How many have been nuclear powered ships? I am familiar with some ships that have been commissioned and decommissioned. Big MO comes to mind.
