It'd probably be "cooler" if it was a CV-N, then there'd be power and a real rationale for people still living there, but that was already dealt with in Satellite Down, which was IMO not a great module. The premise is neat - multiple factions need that satellite data, and it's under the gun of a crazy guy with lots of weapons - but the execution leaves something to be desired.
Anyhow that's my two brass shells.

Mate, I think it's a good idea...and I actually think it's cooler using something that's got a bit of history attached.
My only very minor nit pick would be that I think (although I could be mistaken) that Cuba was officially neutral, so maybe keep the Cubans out of the naval battle that causes her to be run aground?
On the subject of Cuba, according to the BYB Guantanamo Bay was evacuated by the US at some point in 1999...maybe try and work that in?
