The Navy is still working on a plan to dispose of the world's first nuclear powered aircraft carrier and they are asking for your input this week. The former Enterprise carrier (CVN 65) was decommissioned in 2017 after several years of inactivation work was completed at Newport News Shipbuilding. That work included defueling the ship's eight nuclear reactors, deactivating the propulsion systems and preparing the hull for a final tow.

The Navy this month is planning to hold four public scoping meetings across the United States as it works to finalize a plan to dispose of the ship and associated naval reactor plants.
