What will the retired aircraft carrier do and how much will it cost?

Aircraft carrier is not only a big ship, but also different from ordinary civilian ships.

Aircraft carriers contain a lot of toxic substances, such as asbestos, which is difficult to disassemble.

This high-tech product can't be exported casually.

It is also quite troublesome to transport, and selling it is equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

Take the US military as an example. The fate of an aircraft carrier after retirement is generally as follows:

1 Demolition and selling money

This is the fate of most old aircraft carriers.

For example, the aircraft carrier Ranger (CV-4)

Uss enterprise (CV-6)

Aircraft carrier Essex

Aircraft carrier Franklin

Ticonderoga aircraft carrier

The internet speed is not good, so I can't get on Wikipedia. I won't quote directly below.

CV- 15 CV- 17 ~ 2 1 CVL-24 ~ 25 CV-26 ~ 33

CV-36~40 CV-60~6 1

As a museum,

Such as "York City" aircraft carrier (CV- 10).

The Yorktown was retired on 1970 and cancelled on 1973. Later, the navy transformed the Yorktown into a museum ship; The museum opened in Charleston Patriot in 1976, and was awarded a national historical landmark in the United States in 1986.

As a reserve warship of the United States Navy.

For example, enter the naval base in Philadelphia (39.84842, -75.5438+0438+0).

Such as the aircraft carrier forest (CV-59) and the aircraft carrier forest.

It was that 1 cent that was sold to the American All-Star Metal Company, and the two fires were retired.

Aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CV-67)

I left it here after I retired in 2007.

4 used as a target ship

Independence aircraft carrier (CVL-22)

At the crossroads, operational nuclear tests are regarded as target ships. Although Independence was not sunk in the nuclear test, it was seriously polluted by radiation, and was finally sunk by the navy off San Francisco on195165438+1October 29th. As a World War II veteran, how sad!

5 chiseled and sunk as an artificial reef.

Yes, it is used as an artificial reef.

Aircraft carrier Oriskani

1976, the Oriskani retired and began to be sealed in the reserve fleet. Since then, Oriskani has been abandoned. During Reagan's administration, he proposed to restore the Oriskani, but it was rejected by Congress because of its high cost. 1989 Oriskani was deregistered and once sold and demolished; However, the dismantling contract fell through at 1997 for some reason, which made the navy take over the Oriskani again. Finally, the navy decided to sink the Oriskani into an artificial reef. In 2006, the Oriskani sank off the coast of Peng Sacola.

Oriskani is the largest artificial reef in the world at present.

6 sold to other countries, veterans will not die and continue to serve.

(For the time being, we will eventually take the above roads.)

For example, the aircraft carrier Liaoning picked up by China turned out to be Marshal Kuznetsov's No.2 aircraft carrier. Later, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there was no money for Ukraine, and Ukraine had no money to dismantle it, so it was auctioned to China. Originally, I wanted to be a casino, but later I joined the China Navy.

The aircraft carrier Viklandt, Hercules, the Royal Navy's Dignity Class 5 aircraft carrier, was purchased from India in 1957, restarted and modernized, and was completed in 196 1 year, named as "Viklandt". It has been retired and transformed into a museum.

7 change to other uses

It is said that several retired American troops will be used as museums.

The following is the story of the afterheat of other countries' aircraft carriers after retirement.

Walk into a hotel:

The aircraft carrier Kiev

1993 retired, 1996 sold to a domestic company and stored in Tianjin, becoming Tianjin Binhai Aircraft Carrier Theme Park. On October11May, it was converted into an aircraft carrier hotel with a total area of about 6,000 square meters. 20 12 1 was put into trial operation and became the first aircraft carrier hotel in China. Friends who want to experience the aircraft carrier can also go to Tianjin for one night.
