I genuinely and sincerely hope that every single person involved with this decision died painfully and is burning in hell.
There have been many crimes against the most important things in History
you left out
>second-highest kill count of any single machine in human history (after Enola Gay)
It brings me immense joy to know that even our machine spirits have a stacked K/D.

This to make known to all those who sail in her, or who should challenge her, that victory is her birthright.
The bald eagle, the us national mascot, was hunted and killed to almost extinction
>hunted and killed
No, it nearly went extinct because of DDT, but then we figured out the problem, stopped using DDT, and now the eagles are as common as pigeons. Unlike whatever happens in the shithole you come from, we can actually identify and solve problems. Even the American bison in your photo was bought back from the brink of extinction and today hundreds of thousands of them roam freely.
If you thirdies could actually make a rational argument from facts people you might stop being thirdies.
>Even the American bison in your photo was bought back from the brink of extinction and today hundreds of thousands of them roam freely.
Where's a good place to go see one?
t. CA, have seen lots of cows, but never a bison 🙁
Yellowstone national park.
I live in Indiana and there's a farm that raises them like 10 minutes from my house. you can see them roaming their pasture
Yellowstone has lots of bison and is beautiful.
Antelope island national park in utah also has herds.....I think there's a herd in golden gate park in San fran
People raise them all over like cattle. There is a bison farm in every shit heap county in America and probably not two hours from you.
Montana. If you ever hear them run, you'll never forget it. They don't sound like cattle. They sound like thunder.
Yellowstone, also they love to get pet so definitely do that

Ukiah, CA.
Camp Pendleton had a few herds just wandering about. Was pretty cool tbh
There are around 250,000 bison in the US, of which almost all are livestock. There are only a little over 50,000 wild bison in the US, more than half of those are on tribal land were you will probably not want to see them. Less than 5% of bison are genetically pure. The bison genetic bottleneck is still a real problem, even if there are plenty to see.
>Even the American bison in your photo was bought back from the brink of extinction and today hundreds of thousands of them roam freely.
There's also a growing number of bison ranches across the West. There's 4 within a 2 hour drive of me in Washington lmao
>No, it nearly went extinct because of DDT
NTA but the fact that raptors (especially eagles and larger hawks) both suffered massive habitat degradation where their populations overlapped with people and were frequently killed in the US for various reasons until the first few decades of the 20th century didn't help either.
Those are bison from when we were hunting the injuns, moron.
Third worlders are about 30 years out of date on world events. They still think bald eagles are extinct and that honey bees are all about to die
I had a bald eagle fly over my car the other day (and injuns say that’s good luck) and have honey bees in my yard
People just don’t know about places they’ve never visited. Also it’s in that dude’s filename
>So famous that one of the most popular TV shows of all time took its name for their spaceship
Yeah except the TV show enterprise was named av CVN-65, the first nuclear carrier and built less than a decade before the show was created
apparently that isn't confirmed, plus Roddenberry was considering the name Yorktown first.
"These are the voyages of the starship Yorktown..."
That would be a bad case of Mandela effect to wake up to
the united states has no need to deify, exalt and/or idolize mere collections of steel and wood
the men who designed it, lived in it, and fought with it are the heroes
not the ship
the tools do not make the craftsman, and wars are won with the spirit of man

Most of those should be scrapped t.b.h. Brits made the right choice with Warspite and Vanguard as well.

I think you should never post on this American website ever again!
>>Sold and broken up for scrap in 1958 while the USS Intrepid, a complete nothingburger shitheap that accomplished nothing during the war and spent most of its time getting repaired from having its ass kicked gets turned into a museum ship
Basically a mirror situation of what happened with HMS Warspite and HMS Belfast here in the UK…
QRD?
he's british and talking about bongshit, it's irrelevant just like his pissant little island
>>the single most important ship in the largest conflict in human history
>>Had a greater influence on the outcome of a major conflict than any other individual ship
I don't know much naval history but I'd argue that the Lusitania is bigger than the Enterprise
Shut the frick up you shucking and jiving bicycle thief
Don't you still have Belfast? I swear I read some idea about using her for training a while ago.
Because they knew she would never stop murdering japs, or given a long enough drought between Jap encounters, anyone who looked vaguely Japanese.

Can't blame the old girl tbh, those war wounds run deep.
If there was any justice in the world HMS Dreadnought would have been a museum ship.
Which one? The battleship? It's career was mostly uneventful
Yes, but even during it's lifetime everyone seemed to understand it's legacy.
Fact of the matter is that times were different in the 50's where it was all about the future and the past was something to be bulldozed over in favor of a new mall or something. Enterprise would have had to make it into the Seventies before scrapping would have been so politically unacceptable that a home would have been found one way or another. Still, I can't help but feel that a clerk could have hidden her in paperwork for a lot of that time but then again they would have also been invested in the future=good/past=meh of the zeitgeist of the time.
>inb4 but, but, Texas! That was a fluke that happened because of an appeal to state pride just because of the name
Same with the USS Alabama, that got crowdfunded to be saved.
North Carolina as well
Which explains why the US still has a battleline
That would be the Iowa class.
>enter price
How can someone frick up that bad without anyone noticing? Too high ranked drunkard? Imagine the sister ship names if this idiot stayed in office.
>Entername

Same thing with all the interesting prototype vehicles and things captured from enemies. Even some massproduced aircraft went extinct. For example F2A barely exists and Ki-44 is just gone.
I can't tell if you're trying to be funny and failing miserably or if you're legitimately moronic.
It's the former. Obviously. Boomer humor is a cancer on this board. By the way, you don't happen to have autism, do you?
No, you’re just not funny.
Not that anon, your post caught my attention because most people who have the faintest hint of social intelligence could instantly tell that it was simply a dumb boomer joke. I recommend having friends and talking to people more.
No one is laughing at your shitty "joke" dude.
The Keel from the Enterprise was taken into storage, then melted down into ingots. It is held in reserve for the next ship USS ENTERPRISE, so that the legacy of the ship isn't boomers farting on a museum, but it will always be a ship of war. I'm happy with that.
I can’t wait till China(or whoever) sinks one of these- it’ll be so kino
Why would china want to sink an 80 year old ship that doesn't exist anymore?
Any aircraft carrier will do really
Well then good news, you'll probably get your wish when the giant cracks in the shitty knockoff carrier that china slapped together finally give way
With all the museum ships that America has within there is literally no reason the Big E could not have been the carrier version of the Iowa.
Sure, but like
said she didn't survive long enough for that to happen. If she'd survived into the 80's there would have been actual fights over who got her.
there's nowhere to run when the battle's all around you
It was just an old ship stressing the American economy.
that thing had like 69420 autistic reactors on it, nobody wants to deal with that shit, especially as a museum ship
Wrong Enterprise
Black folk would have ruined it anyway
Why cares? It's a machine. Same as any of its class. Only the people who used it matter.
"guns kill people" t. you
>Only the people who used it matter.
They're all dead now anon, but if any of them were alive I'm pretty sure they'd want their ship and its legacy preserved.
Also we have flags, symbols, monuments and physical mementos for a reason. Not all memories can be preserved through oral tradition or photographs. The fact that I actually have to explain this to you should make you embarrassed.
>Sold and broken up for scrap in 1958 while the USS Intrepid, a complete nothingburger shitheap that accomplished nothing during the war and spent most of its time getting repaired from having its ass kicked gets turned into a museum ship
Intrepid was decommissioned in 1974 and kept in mothball until 1982. Most Essex-class carriers served until late 60's and mid 70's, ships were typically kept around in mothball for another decade until being sold off as scrap or kept as museum.
