The "Jimmy Carter" is under construction and will probably replace the
one that is oldest now. It's condition inspection may have shown it to
be in best shape so was extended until the Carter comes on line?

As an aside, what did Jimmy ever do to warrant naming a carrier after
him (

Thanks, John. Interesting that they are de-commissioning the SECOND oldest
carrier in the arsenal, the Constellation.

Why not put the FIRST oldest (whatever it may be) carrier out to pasture
