On the other hand I saw an article in a local paper saying that the mayor of Dana Point is working to have a ship (destroyer??) reefed off of Salt Creek beach. I will look for the text and see if I can substantiate this.

I would think that a destroyer would have more interesting details available than a carrier. Scooter rentals on the flight deck?? -N
