Aircraft Carrier USS Carl Vinson Is Not Coming to Hawaii
by: David and Tonya Kucic, Hawaii Real Estate Agents
After more than a year of speculation, the United States Navy announced that the USS Carl Vinson will not be stationed in Hawaii. The USS Carl Vinson is an aircraft carrier and was being considered for stationing the ship at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Puget Sound or Guam. The decision has been made to base the ship in San Diego along with the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Nimitz which are 2 other aircraft carriers.
If the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson would have been stationed in Hawaii, the speculation was that the ships air wing would occupy land at the old Barbers Point Naval Air Station which is also known as Kalealoa while the ship itself would be based out of Pearl Harbor. Although it would have brought millions of dollars to the local economy, it would have also impacted our already crowded schools, streets and housing situation. While I always support the growth of all branches of the Armed Forces, I am slightly relieved to know that the ship will be located in the mainland exclusively because of the overpopulation of leeward Oahu without the proper infrastructure being in place.
Since the City of Ewa Beach, Hawaii was left off of the route for the proposed light rail here in Hawaii, it is only appropriate that the growth of Kalaeloa not take place for the foreseeable future.
Ewa Beach will grow naturally and will continue to be a highly desirable place to live for many years to come.
