I was stationed aboard the USS constellation from 1972 to 1976, I’m wondering is any possibility I could get a piece of the Connie before she is completely sold off for scrap.. I’ll gladly pay for this.
You might want to check with International Shipbreaking in Brownsville.
Congratulations to the crew of the Corbin Foss! A remarkable final journey for “America’s Flagship”.
What is your ETA to come through.the channel at South Padre Island. Looking forward to watching. The wind is blowing here on the island this evening.
Right now it is difficult to say as the weather has them hove to with high winds. Yesterday the time for pilot station was 07:00 01/16/15.
Thank you . Will keep looking out my RV window. . South Padre Island… we have family members with ties to her.
Right now the arrival is delayed because of weather. As soon as we know the new ETA pilot station, will let everyone know.
When will the carrier pass through South Padre Island so I can take my kids to go see it headed to its final destination?
My brother was stationed on this ship. Is there anyway he could visit it one last time. We are planning trip to come and see it before it is scrapped. Thank you very much!
I do not believe anyone will be allowed to board it but viewing might be no problem but the scrapping schedule is up to International Shipbreaking.
WIll it go into Brownsville today? and do you know time? We love watching on SPI
The vessels are hove to offshore for weather. Do not have an ETA right now. Yesterday the ETA for Pilot Station was 07:00 1/16/14.
wow! thanks for the blog! I found G Captain, found ‘ live ship map”, found ‘ foss towinng’.what an ocean adventure!! still have question? thanks again.
where is the pilot station
From Bremerton saw her pull out and was in water next to her. Sad. Ranger is next. Our govt needs to let those who want these ships have them. What difference does it make?
