Anybody got the straight skinny on this? Served in Independence V-1 Div and IM-2 Div 74-77. I have heard that INDY is going to be a reef like Oriskany.

Gates? Those were just coming on line when I was a LT! Now they are going away?! Spent a CARQUAL det on Forest Fire and made my first cruise on Connie. I guess I qualify as old now, whether I like it or not. Yorktown, Vincennes and Thomas S. Gates? Those were just coming on line when I was a LT! Now they are going away?!

I will admit to having seen the Forrestal ghost though.

Oh well, she was the only carrier I deployed in so I guess I don't have anything to compare her to other than a short period on America when VS-28 covered for her squadron. America was in bad shape at that point. Thought the FID was going to be a museum somewhere. After reading that list I could only think of Ronald Reagan rolling over, may he rest in peace.
