WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- The aircraft carrier USS Forrestal, out of service for 20 years, is being sold to a Brownsville, Texas, scrap company for a penny, the Navy says.
All Star Metals bid $0.01 for the job, the Navy said in a news release Tuesday. The company's offer was based on its estimate of how much it can net from the sale of metal from the Forrestal.
