I wonder if that drawing is of when she foundered and was lost.

An iron warship?    I wonder who was brave enough to go aboard first? That guy deserves a mention.

Pretty much every time she left port she was in danger of foundering, but yeah I think that's what the drawing is depicting.

I think they found her in 300 feet of water.  I think 'coastal' in this case means 'be less than 10' from shore'

How the mighty have fallen.  The Russian navy is in deep decline.

Sort of reminds me of the US Navy in the thirty years after the Civil War.  No money, and the fleet was left to rot.

Good video on USS Hornet.

She goes to sea at about 4:40.  Nice flight deck operations for the Doolittle Raid.
Sorry that I only found this today.  Only up for a few more days.

That's my office's annual report that is quoted there.  My part of CVN 78 wasn't controversial this year (unlike last year), so my part of the report was pretty minor.
