The U.S.S. America -that I served 2 years aboard

(1/1)

Duane:
If you look under ship file you can see the spec's of the ship ie:
a 4 1/2 acre flight deck *4 props (22 feet tip to tip) each *5,000 man crew
30' short of 1/4 mile long *each anchor chain link 380 lbs. * 36 stories high

This is "my baby"! I steered and controlled the ship speed from the bridge, refueled, dropped the anchor, painted, guarded on watches and lived on her for two years.
Enjoy looking at the spec's and ship facts. It is now the world's largest man-made reef off the coast of Florida. They experimented with the latest weaponry as to what it would take to successfully SINK an aircraft carrier. They filmed the process from the inside, too, as it sunk.
