Any idea which other carriers?

Quote from AP---
",,,the Navy this summer also will begin taking applications for 24 other
ships including three aircraft carriers, the USS Forrestal, USS Independence
and USS Constellation, said Patricia Dolan, spokeswoman for the Naval Sea
Systems Command. Each displaces more than twice the Oriskany's 27,100 tons.

The 888-foot Oriskany is the first vessel in a new program designed to dispose
of obsolete warships by sinking them as a cheaper alternative to the scrap
yard."
