Et sidste farvel til USS Independece

Den 11. Marts forlod hangarskibet USS Indepence Pudget Sound Naval værftet i Bremerton på den amerikanske østkyst for at drage ud på sin sidste rejse. Den er slut nu. Efter en tur omkring Sydamerika er det næsten 60 år gamle skib klar til ophugning.

Harry S. Truman var amerikansk præsident, da kølen blev lagt til USS Independence i 1955. 12 præsidenter og 62 år senere ligger skibet nu klar til ophugning på værftet i Brownsville, Texas.

Det 60.000 tons store og 326 meter lange hangarskib vil blev overtaget af US Navy i 1959 og var i aktiv tjeneste i 39 år frem til 1989. Skibet nåede at deltage i krigen i Vietnam, sendte fly afsted mod syriske tropper under den libanesiske borgerkrig og var en del af flådestyrken i krigen mod Irak.

USS Independence er det sidste af fire skibe i Forrestal-klassen, der nu bliver skrottet.
