It's so sad we were so stupid to let the Big E be scrapped. The ONE Yorktown class carrier that made it all the way through the war. Just think of the history that one ship made….Doolittle's raiders, Midway, Santa Cruz, on and one…..but we didn't care enough to save her? We DID "save" other less notable ships…….
I still lament the decision to let her go………….
