Ahh... I just realized you want an aircraft carrier.
Those other ones are nice too, some are WWII.
(Hopefully Sylvester will bring back some good pics of the Boeing. )

You'll be able to dive the Oriskany off Pensicola Florida, sooner or later.

You can dive HMS Hermes a WWII Aircraft Carrier in Sri Lanka - if you are a DIR diver you can join a GUE expedition there early next year..

Speaking of the Oriskany, there was a movie years ago, with OJ Simpson, Sam Waterston, Elliot Gould - Capricorn 1, I think. Well, the Oriskany was the aircraft carrier that was supposed to pick up their space capsule when it landed. Terrible movie, but I was working night shift that week and it happened to be on TV. I stopped on that channel during one of my 'surfing runs' and they mentioned the Oriskany. I almost fell off the sofa

Sorry, please continue...

This is a KOOOL ship man! First aircraft career ever built! I bet it went down with a load of planes. Any idea what depth it is sitting at?
