Was the Carrier, USS Enterprise, retired?

My FIL was a plank owner. He’s pretty bummed even though he’s admitted the eight-reactor design was something of a nightmare to manage.

My father is also a plank owner. Maybe they know each other?

I may have been confusing two different vessels of the same name.

No US company will scrap the ship. In spite of the massive amount of materials that can be salvaged, it is not economically feasible for an American company.

Chances are they’ll remove the reactors and either donate it or sink it.

I know is this is old, but several of the articles about this say that the steel from the Big E will be used in the construction of the replacement. The articles I found did not give any particulars.
