Rajarajan Sathiavakeesan: Last kind of NIMITZ class carriers.
Tom Browder: They only dry dock in the east coast that can handle a carrier. The United States needs another one. Just like there's only one dry dock that can handle a boomer on the East Coast.
Mike Maatta: Tom Browder Newport News shipyard has one, we built the Garold Ford in it.
Tom Browder: These are private yards. It's normal for the Navy and the Pentagon to give such work to private yards to keep them alive. When ..they start production on building they will not stop anything just to serve repairs

Saving a satellite image because it caught an aircraft carrier in a graving yard.

Later, when I was getting ready to publish, I noticed that both of the large graving docks were empty.

Eric Boynton: That crane is still there. Mind you it hasn't been used in over 20 years.... [I looked for it on a satellite map, but I could not find it.]
Nick Spileos: Now it's docked on long Island as a museum, very nice attraction.
