Sinking of CV-66
Last year the USN went to a lot of time and effort on weapons trials to sink CV-66.Does anybody have any footage so that I can wind -up some skimmers?

 This is the only pic I know of that the USN released of the sinking, due to the security concerns. |

There's also a political factor - Imagine papers coming out with the headline "AMERICA SUNK!" and a dramatic picture of a carrier exploding...
Plus, a video like that would surely get attached to an email, and I can just imagine how some idiots might twist it into being an Iraq war occurence or something... |
