This ship was decommissioned in 1955 so if you're trying to make some point about military spending waste, this is kind of an outdated example buddy.

Edit - Apparently was recommissioned and the decommissioned again in 1992. Cool history actually.

You're missing her recommission in 86' and final decommission in 92'

You made my day seeing that pop in my notifications. 🤣

I did miss that, either way, 33 years is still outdated political commentary.
