Last World War II carrier Cabot battles for survival
The USS Cabot, an Independence-class light aircraft carrier nicknamed the Iron Woman, sits in a Brownsville scrap yard awaiting a possible rescue. Activist Peter Stoudt seeks $50,000 to extend housing costs and $1 million total to buy and tow the ship, explore memorial hosting, and preserve its wartime condition with original guns and flight deck.
