		The second America was originally the German liner Amerika seized in World War I and used as a transport during the war.

	USS Gearing and USS America
		On May 14, 2005, USS America CVA-66, 60,000+ tons and over 1,000 feet in length, was sent to the bottom off of the U.S. East Coast as a contribution to Naval research: a series of tests with torpedoes and explosives.
		The America, which is more than 1,000 feet long and displaces about 80,000 tons, exceeds the size of the Japanese World War II battleships Yamato and Musashi, and the carrier Shinano, which all displaced close to 70,000 tons.
		The America was the third carrier of the non-nuclear Kitty Hawk class, and the first to be retired, a victim of post-Cold War budget cuts after 31 years at sea.

	Navy to Sink Retired Carrier USS America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Navy plans to send the retired carrier USS America to the bottom of the Atlantic in explosive tests this spring, an end that is difficult to swallow for some who served on board.
		The Navy's plan is to tow it to sea on April 11 — possibly stopping at Norfolk, Va. — before heading to the deep ocean, 300 miles off the Atlantic coast, for the tests, Dolan said.
		The others — the Forrestal and the Saratoga — were designated as potential museums, she said.

	Defense Tech: NAVY SINKS 'AMERICA'
		So the Navy is going to sink the USS America, decommissioned since 1996, to find out what happens when the 1060-foot long carrier gets hit, hard.
		In $22 million worth of "experiments that will last from four to six weeks," the AP reports, "the Navy will batter the America with explosives, both underwater and above the surface, watching from afar and through monitoring devices placed on the vessel."
		The Navy does not want to give away too much information on how a carrier could be sunk, Pat Dolan, a spokeswoman for Naval Sea Systems Command, said.
