The famous aircraft carrier Forrestal will be cut up for scrap or sunk as an artificial reef, the Navy has determined.
...
Both Forrestal and the carrier Saratoga are now tied up at an aging pier on Naval Station Newport, R.I., but due to deterioration of the facility, both ships need to be relocated by the end of September 2010.
Roberts said Saratoga is “in the process” of being donated to that ship’s foundation, which wants to preserve it as a museum, likely in Rhode Island.
