I saw it on CNN yesterday at lunch...Probably will be good place to bump boats in a year or three

Yup, They had said it would take 4 or 5 hours to sink. It sank in a little over 30 minutes. Boy, I sure hope those are not the same guys who inspect and pass our boats for weight and capacities....

Someone please explain why there was a boat on the deck of that ship.

Here is the story:

A 50-foot boat on the flight deck that contains a large generator box and electronics gear associated with the detonation is supposed to simply float away as the carrier slips below the water.
