If you want the true story about what happened to the America go to the
above website. Scroll down to the links on the bottom of the page and
click on Americas final mission. On that page you will find copies of
the offical letters noting the sinking of the ship. Email the webmaster
of that page and he will send you most anything you want to know about
the sinking of that ship.


I know they've been trying to save it, although as I understand it,
the Navy has consistently turned them down saying that the ships
condition was not suitable for a nuseum ship. But it looks like they
were only told on Dec 15, 2004 that the ship was going to be used in
these these tests. That's 3 months earlier than the Navy public press
release on this.

However, it does indicate that they've been working on the ship for
some time to remove anything that might be needed. It does not discuss
EIR issues.
