Moffett, with additional duty as a naval aide to President Herbert Hoover.he Military Air Transport Service, then headquartered at Andrews AFB in Maryland. Due to an illness, he was hospitalized from August of that year until retiring in November. He was promoted to Vice Admiral upon his retirement and spent his remaining years in Coronado.Using the fates of previous U.S. Navy aircraft carriers as a guide, once the ship's nuclear fuel and reactor machinery has been removed and disposed of, petitioners and naval enthusiasts want the ship to become a museum, however that may not be possible. Once the Navy dismantles and recycles the ship's reactors, there will be nothing left to turn into a museum; virtually everything two decks below the hangar bay would have to be cut apart. Enterprise may also enter the Ship-Submarine Recycling Program. Afterward the ship's island could be removed and used as a memorial.
