I've been playing around with GoogleEarth and looking for decommissioned
aircraft carriers.

I have only found one, CV-66, at Philadelphia. Where were the others kept?

USS Hornet is in Alameda, California. You can find USS Midway in Google
Earth a few miles away in Oakland. However the picture is a few years
old, because Midway is now located in downtown San Diego.

You can find USS Intrepid if you zoom in on the upper West side of
Manhattan. Though she was moved to a dry dock in New Jerry last week for
maintenance.

USS Lexington is a museum in Corpus Christi, Texas, and the USS Yorktown
is one in Charleston, South Carolina.

Other decommissioned US carriers can be found in Bremmerton, Washington,
and Newport, Road Island.

If you zoom in to Toulon, France you can see the Clemenceau. And if you
pan over to Portsmith, England you can see the HMS Invincible. Although
she is in reserve, not decommissioned.
