Photo taken at Kearney, New Jersey on the Hackensack River
in 1960 shortly after being stricken from the Navy list and awaiting her
turn at the scrapper's torch. Kearney was infamous as a scrapping yard
in the 60's as the Enterprise
(CV-6), Antietam
(CV-36), Essex
(CV-9), Franklin
D. Roosevelt (CV-42), Washington
(BB-56), Alaska (CB-1)
and others met their end at this location. What the Axis powers tried
and couldn't do was accomplished here. |
