That would be well worth saving, maybe move it to NYC and turn it into a hotel, edit maybe the Miami Marine Stadium needs it more.

Seriously it is a ship worth keeping. 900 feet long 44mph and no stinking steps.

>33 kts is the stated speed for a Nimitz class carrier but the true top speed is classified. The Enterprise was even faster than the Nimitz class carriers. I haven't seen the info on the new Ford class yet. The Forrestal class were built in the 50's and were rated at 34 kts. I don't know about the other carriers because I was never on them but I know the Nimitz class are much faster than their stated speed.
