Interesting. Not only was USS Enterprise the first nuclear-powered carrier (originally, of course, the only), now she is the first (and so far only) one to retire, prompting the question how?

It does seem a pity that she cannot be kept somewhere as a utility generator. OTOH, it would seem quite a comedown to see USS Enterprise supplying lighting for Yankee Stadium or anywhere else for that matter...
