Indeed it is.  That's one my dad served on, off Vietnam.  As well as
Independence, and I believe the Forrestal (before it became the Forest
Fire).

It's sad the number of these old beauties that are scheduled to be scuttled.
:(

Mostly scrapped, actually. Although they did make an artificial reef of the Oriskany (after a long ordeal - hurricanes and environmental regs among the issues) and it's now a premier scuba diving attraction. Good for the local economy, too. 
ObTrav - It's possible that some famous starships would be turned into museums. The PC's are hired to enter the ship as tourists to find the (insert plot hook item) for (insert patron of choice). Mayhem ensues as they must break into a sealed portion of the ship, evading security, guides (who may be veterans and are *very* upset at anyone damaging their vessel), tour groups and of course the Opposing Team(s) who are also after (plot hook item).
