"So what's with the new carrier replica? Some think it might be for military training, others purely for tourist appeal. One Chinese netzien said of the carrier, "What is the point of building this? Why not build a real one if you have the materials to do so?"

as well as all the cash necessary to build it

Any pic's of the Texas?

I took a bunch of them, just need to upload some to my photobucket. I'd never seen the Texas before and was very impressed. We didn't have much time, just got to San Jacinto about an hour before the park closed, so we were able to walk the main deck and a couple of the decks right below, and that was about it. Couldn't go back as we had the space center tour the following day then onto San Antonio immediately after that. Would have liked to have had at least a couple of hours more.
Such an impressive warship, I had no idea that class had so many gun turrets (I'm used to the WW2 classes of battlewagons that usually had three main gun turrets).
