There's a second problem with the U.S. government not allowing the carrier to be waved in the boneyard... finding the lift capacity to get it to drydock. JMC might have moved block housing from Ireland... but those can't hold a candle to the size and mass of a decommissioned aircraft carrier. Anyone trying it would either have to commission with the Trekkies or a faction with similar lifting capacity.
Well, OK, JMC could probably manage it... but it would be a large chunk of their fleet that would have to be involved to get it up, which would be fraught with the peril of having to coordinate all those Blue Midgets having to basically haul it up by cable attachments. Not an especially ideal set of circumstances. And frighteningly expensive.
(This very same set of circumstances is likely the reason that the Trekkies didn't just buy CVN-65 off the U.S. Navy at the end of her useful life. Way too expensive and dangerous to get where it could be waved without a lot of throat clearing of the locals.)
