65? Isn't that the Lexington?



65 is the Enterprise...I e-mailed this pic to my Dad a couple weeks ago (he was on the Enterprise in Viet Nam) and he told me the story behind the pic....turn out they're not just f@#king around, they send cars off for a reason.

They do it to test the steam catapults that launch the planes, when they are in port and it's relatively shallow they send off big yellow blocks and the Navy divers recover the blocks so they can be used again. When they are out at sea and the water is REALLY deep, they send off old junker cars so that they don't have to worry about recovering.
