I discharged from the RAN in November 1986, having served under the colours for 12 years 5 months, completing almost 9 years sea time.

Awesome. Thank you for your service. I served with the US Navy from August 25th 1971 until Auguat 31st 1991. Honorably discharged.

Too bad this highly decorated ship was not preserved as a museum. Don't blame the USN. The USN is not in the maritime museum business.

USS Enterprise (CV-6) operating in the Pacific, circa late June 1941. She is turning into the wind to recover aircraft. Note her "natural wood" flight deck stain and dark Measure One camouflage paint scheme. The flight deck was stained blue in July 1941, during camouflage experiments that gave her a unique deck stripe pattern.

Thanks shipmate for your kind words and for your wonderful service to the USN, we share a rich heritage mate, that of the sea

She would have been a fantastic monument if she had been kept mate, but you are sadly correct, navies are not in the business of maintaining museums. Here in Australia we have several beautifully maintained museum ships, sadly nothing from WW1 but my old ship Diamantina has been preserved as a WW2 frigate. Some wonderful chances have been missed though in preserving history but state governments also have no interest in museum ships

Thanks Bravo Zulu for your kind words! You are a true shipmate!

ex-USS Saratoga (CV 60) under tow from Newport RI to Brownsville TX in August 2014.

One of Saratoga's nick names was "Big Sixty...From Dixie"...She was home ported in Mayport FL most of her service.

Aug. 21, 2014....ex-USS Saratoga (CV 60) under tow from Newport RI.

Below are some excellent photos of ex-USS Saratoga (CV-60) under tow off the coast of North Carolina. She's headed to ESCO Marine, a shipbreakers yard, in Brownsville TX.

Saratoga was decommissioned on August 20th,1994. These photos show what 20 years of no maintenance preservation can do.

I see the the port bow anchor is still attached. I betcha the USN still owns that anchor. It may be used on a future Ford class CVN

Russia:
May 1944, a gift to the Russian Navy, HMS Royal Sovereign, 2 former US Four-Piper destroyers, and 4 submarines (l to r) HMS Sunfish, HMS Ursala, HMS Unison, and HMS Unbroken

These ships (and several USN ones) were given in the USSR in lieu of Soviet claims on the surrendered Italian fleet which was still (mostly) being used for various duties. Post was the Italian fleet was in part split up and various ships were given to Greece, the USSR and France has partial compensation. The UK and US got the two surviving modern battleships of the Vittorio Veneto class which were scrapped in Italy. The USSR got the older Giulio Cesare.

Planes on deck include Vought F4U-4B Corsair fighters and Douglas AD Skyraider attack planes. Note men on deck, apparently tossing snowballs, and what may be a toppled snowman just in front of the amidships elevator.

Crewmen use flight deck tractors with power brooms to sweep snow from the carrier's flight deck, during operations off Korea, circa early 1951. Photo is dated 8 May 1951, but Valley Forge ended her second Korean War deployment in late March of that year. Plane parked in the foreground is a F4U-4 Corsair fighter. Those on the forward flight deck are an AD Skyraider attack plane and a HO3S helicopter.
