question for those that have been in the navy

[Warrior102]

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.

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

No nukes sold or sunk as targets that I can think of.

Nuke ships scrapped at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. This is where Enterprise will be scrapped.

Scrapped yes - I know that.

One of my ships, after the decommissioning, was sold to the Turks. They tore out the scullery and used the space for hanging fresh meat.

Would a ship be sent on deployment when it's scheduled to be decommissioned within a year?

What are they supposed to do with it, stick it in a closet somewhere until they decommission it?

PASCAGOULA, Miss. (NNS) -- USS Ticonderoga (CG 47) will depart its homeport at Naval Station Pascagoula for its final deployment March 10. The ship is scheduled to be decommissioned Sept. 30

USS Ticonderoga to Make Final Deployment Before Decommissioning

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.

All aircraft carriers are nuclear powered.

true you are correct, but why would they send one that was going to be decommissioned within a year? Maybe there's nothing to it, But I have an uncomfortable feeling about this one.

Keep it closer to home, patrolling the pacific, not send it to a hostile region. but that's just me.

With only 11 carriers, she has to deploy if on the deployment schedule. The majority of decom tasks are performed after the decommissioning.

What we see is a decommissioning ceremony and hauling down of the commissioning pennent and national ensign. After that is when the removal of equipment that can be cannibolized or needs to be destroyed due to security reasons. JP-5 and other fuels and fluids need to be removed along with miriade other tasks. That is all done by someone other than ship's company who will transfer throughout the Navy, only left with a tearful goodbye to an old friend.

The Navy has no plans to sink a carrier with all hands in order to justify a war. It was sent because it was rotated into the Persian Gulf as part of normal Navy deployment. If it is the ships last deployment the Navy likes to do a little goodwill stops, that could prove especially advantageous in a volatile area.

Great to hear.

How would a Navy Sailor know the details of a Ship being deployed or decommissioned? I think the question might be forwarded to the FBI or Homeland Security.

Shit. The women in some of the ports know the port of call schedule better than some Admirals in the Pentagon.
