Gringo aircraft carriers in the Bay of Panama,” reads headline of the daily Critica
Fusion: ‘Obama’s aircraft carrier’ was a decommissioned rustbucket heading to the scrapyard
PANAMA CITY —Calm seas turned to bad news for the United States after a decommissioned U.S. aircraft carrier heading to a scrapyard in Texas arrived in Panama one week ahead of schedule — just in time to spook Panamanians on the eve of the XVII Summit of the Americas.
Panama City woke Tuesday morning to the unfamiliar sight of what appeared to be a U.S. Navy warship anchored in their bay. Nearly everyone —from media to government officials — assumed the carrier was there as part of President Barack Obama’s security detail for the summit, which starts on Friday.
WNU Editor: I first heard about these news reports yesterday... and I had to scratch my head because I was not aware that there was a U.S. aircraft carrier in the vicinity in the first place. As for the rumor mill and the press coverage in the Americas .... I lost track on all the theories and explanations on why this carrier was present. But ... the explanation is rather straight forward .... it is the USS Ranger going to the scrap heap.

The Ranger is a non-nuke.
The DoD has considered it obsolete. I wonder how long ago it stopped being a training carrier off the coast of Florida?
The conspiracy theorists should be more concerned if there was a helicopter carrier full of marines parked off shore.
