DescriptionUSS Franklin (CV-13) in April 1967.jpg	The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Franklin (CV-13) moored to northern side of partially demolished Norfolk and Western pier (at ?) awaiting scrapping. The photograph was taken from shore looking westward, 26 April 1967. Note the missing portion of her flight deck which was used to repair USS Valley Forge (CVS-45) in 1959. The U.S. Navy initially sold Franklin to the Peck Iron and Metal Company of Portsmouth, Virginia (USA), but reclaimed her due to an urgent Bureau of Ships requirement for her four turbo generators. She was again sold for scrap to the Portsmouth Salvage Company of Chesapeake, Virginia on 27 July 1966. She departed naval custody under tow by the Red Star Towing Company on the evening of 1 August 1966.
