Then the JSF ought to be a real turd. so effing ugly.
Dude the Boeing bird looked like a flying frog. The Lockheed version is a hell of a lot better looking...
If you are thinking the first carrier named USS Saratoga, the WWII vet, you can visit her if you want. You just need a SCUBA certification and some dough to get you Bikini Atoll.
She is the one immediately to the left of the explosion:
Going down:
Yes, I know. Perhaps "scrap" should have been replaced by "destroy." And I guess it is infinitely better that she went down that way than at the breaker's yard, but the point remains.
Either/or ... when you "scrap" 'em w/ a NUKE, it's potat-o/potat-oh ....
... oh, and when you go to BIKINI to "visit", make sure you bring along your other half-life. 
Money is money, the NAVY always eats its own, it seldom-if ever preserves its own "history", and I understand all that -- but the SARA (CV-3) or the "BIG E" were so special and so one-of-a-kind, that I'm sure they COULD have been preserved had there been the will ...
no argument there, but just because the troll at the bar has a friend who only makes you vomit a little bit doesn't mean you gotta take her home.
Last woman on Earth??

I think the governments' word is that it is 'safe' to dive the atoll...as long as you don't eat any fish.
safe enough that you probably won't grow a third eye, but no guarantees on your offsprings tail and/or extra digits. People with more money than cents (hardeeharhar) do dive there to look at the fish and sharks since they are fairly untouched by fishing.
anyone ballsy or dumb enough to do it and take a geiger counter, let me know how that went.
If the situation is that bad, theres no reason to subject yourself to any more indignity. Extinction is preferable to ugly women, bad beer, or ugly airplanes.
So... "I'll fly whatever they let me" translates to "sex is more important than dignity?"

i'm sure the JSF will eventually grow on me...like some kind of staph infection.
even the mighty war pig is more aesthetically pleasing to me than that bloated turd. i can't get over my initial reaction to the static display at the smithsonian...
"they want people to fly that?! how can something so fugly possibly fly?!"
maybe seeing it in flight will make it look better to me, overcoming my disbelief that it can actually produce bernoullis. this is the same kid who thought the F-22 was ugly, then I saw a pair flying past us at destin and completely changed my opinion of that over priced sexy bitch.
Why the hell don't we do Battle Stars for das Boats anymore? Seems like it'd be a nice thing, morale-wise, and costs nothing...
While Johnston Island was perpetually one of our HNL BINGO fields, I don't think anyone ever took the airline down there --- as everyone was afraid of "glowing in the dark" after we landed ...
