Along with the survivors of this calamity, my thoughts are also with those caught up in the fallout- whether they be fishermen or folks like our servicemen and women out at sea. Scrubbing down an entire aircraft carrier has got to be some backbreaking work.

2. I'm all for it being turned into a floating RW haven. You know they'd lap that up.
Until the hot water stopped working, anyway. Strip off whatever guns it might have, certainly no planes would be on the deck (that'll turn into the "gated community" for those deemed rich enough to see sunlight), and let them mothefuckers float wherever.

On second thought, although I can't imagine how they could fuck something up like that (except themselves), they probably would.

4. Can they wash off the desecration they call "its name" while they are at it?
I can understand them naming a disfunctional airport after Reagan, but an aircraft carrier?
