Carrier sells for one cent
In a time where financial aid doesn't even cover the cost of tuition, we've sold a carrier for one cent.
That is right, one cent.
What are your thoughts on this ATS?

Further investigation into the matter reveals that the $0.01 tag is the net price.
In short, net price is "...the final charge you pay for a product or service after discounts and sales taxes are computed." My guess is that the contract includes more carriers to be dismantled at the list price but that is speculation.
Trying to tie in financial aid to this is just ignorant in my opinion.

People are awfully free with that $2B cost for the Forrestal. Has anyone actually bothered to do any research into what it actually cost? Because, again, it was nowhere near $2B. Sail away cost, brand new, in 1955 was approximately $217M.

times change. That's a lot of good steel just rusting away. Why not dismantal it and recycle the steel right? It's a good idea. They don't need that many big air craft carriers anymore. Even a handful is way more than enough. 2 on each coast and 1 sent abroad to raise hell. Thats' it. The rest are scrap.
