• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

'How Many Aircraft Carriers Can Fit In One Port In Seattle?'

Great photo.

For those of you not familar with the Pacific Northwest, Seattle only has Ferry Vessels, Cruise ships and Cargo Vessels. All the carriers are in Bremerton or Everett, WA., except if one comes in for the annual SeaFair Festival.

Photo is of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton which is 19 miles across Puget Sound by Ferry Vessel. Much longer if you drive.

According to the Google map the mothballed carriers are from top to bottom or left to right (however you see it):

USS Independence
USS Kitty Hawk
USS Constellation
USS Ranger

The fifth one is likely either USS Stennis or USS Abraham Lincoln, depending on when the photo was taken.

Went to Google Earth to find the other three mothballed oil burner carriers. Here's the Saratoga (CV-60) at Newport RI, the Forrestal (CV-59) and John F. Kennedy (CV-67) at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. They've seen better days!
