Disclaimer: there are no rules to this game

I will tell you she was a ship in the Pacific theater.

Status: offline 		Looks like the stern mounted 5/38 on a Casablanca class CVE, although which one I couldn't say. I say Casablanca class 'cause they were the only class with a squared off stern (Bogue & Charger had rounded sterns and Commencement Bay had two quad 40s on their stern).

Not Cabot aye?

That's the one. It was a controversial scrapping as many people wanted her back in the UK as a museum, but no-one would stump up the cash

Status: offline 		She was scrapped in India where ships are commonly run aground for scrapping in developing nations. They are dragged into the shallows at high tide, then when the tide goes out work begins. My Dad has been on several ships that were on their final journey for this kind of disposal.
