Re: My trip to the US Navy Reserve Fleet in Bremerton, WA
Bremerton Washington is a medium size city in Puget Sound area located in the most northwestern part of the USA. It is accross Puget Sound fron Seattle WA. There are some active ships there. One being the USS John C. Stennis CVN-74. Not all of the USN reserves are there. They are spread out along the coast of the US.
The carriers held in reserve there, Indpendence,Ranger and Constellation are not in the best of shape. I know that the Constellations catapults were removed before it was placed in reserve. All of those ships have had various major componets removed such as anchors,screws and propellers and most electronics. For the USN to re-activate one of these ships it would cost billions of dollars. They are not for sale.
