Sounds like something that probably won't happen, but It's still a pretty cool idea.
quote:
A Washington State lawmaker has proposed the idea of connecting two cities on the Puget Sound with a military tribute bridge made of retired United States Navy aircraft carriers.
quote:
A proposal put forth by Young which would use money from the state's highway budget to fund a feasibility study about the bridge passed in the Washington House on Thursday. The idea is intriguing because the US Navy is storing three retired carriers just a few hundred yards from the proposed site of the bridge.
quote:
Young's spokesman Kevin Shutty said the bridge would relieve pressure in the 'bottleneck area', Maritime Executive reported. He said: 'This would definitely be a unique way to tackle some of those problems, but at the same time it would serve as a floating memorial to veterans and the sacrifice they have given to our country. 'It's a novel concept.

interesting idea, I am not sure it is too practical, though...

Yeah I would imagine there's a bunch of issues, but how cool would it be to drive across an aircraft carrier.

That would be so badass.

I'd imagine that it could be done but it would be a lot more expensive than just building a bridge. It's hard for me to imagine the aircraft carriers being the actual support structure in any kind of set-up. They would be window dressings for the most part, but it would definitely be cool!

Really hope this happens in some fashion...

I'd floor it and play "Danger Zone" the whole way.

Probably a lot of logistical problems, doesn't really make sense to do...
But frick that would be bad arse.
America should do it just to show the rest of the world how big our dicks are, most countries can't even afford a carrier, let alone multiple...but a muhfuggin carrier bridge??
