Some more links: http://www.ussamerica.org/ Carrier Veterans Association http://www.cvn78.com/ New carrier to be named as USS America? AFAIK, CVA-66 USS America was largest warship ever sunk at sea, at any cause.
sorry to disapoint you, there where no news crews on the sinking, just military personal, since it was a test , of what? i do not know
It was a SinkEx - they threw everything they could at her to see what it would do against a modern carrier. http://p216.ezboard.com/fwarships1discu ... c&index=15
Weapons testing is always the last service a ship can give. There might at some point in the future be American ships that manage to get their crews home because what has been learned from America.
