We recently posted about how the US Navy’s last two non-nuclear carriers were sold for scrap for the modest sum of one cent each. By some standards, that was not such a bad deal. A recent report by the General Accounting Office (GAO) says that it could cost the Navy more than $1.5 billion to fully dispose of the retired ex-USS Enterprise, a complete process that could take more than an additional decade to finish.
The Enterprise (CVN-65), nicknamed the Big ‘E,’ was the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier when it was commissioned on November 25, 1961. Likewise, the ship is the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be scrapped. The Navy is still weighing its options as to what to do with the Big ‘E.’
