They should.
Agreed in principle. But the museum market is getting crowed as hell, especially with Saratoga and others coming onto the ballfield.
My biggest question is the material state of America. The museum website claims that NAVSEA has been vague in their replies to requests on the ships status.
Personally, I am glad that we won't have to see her cut up for razor blades (USS Coral Sea) or left to rot for years like a decomposing corpse (USS Oriskany)
