The ONLY reserve carrier is the Kitty Hawk, but would take 60-90 days to bring her out of "mothballs".
I have to disagree with that statement,more like 12-16 months,have you seen her lately?

The Navy says she's on 60-90 day reserve. If her condition is typical of the ships in the reserve fleet, 12-16 months is probably VERY optimistic.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
