I toured on the Kitty Hawk’s maiden voyage around the Horn and was paid $88.00 a month. Room and board was free!!!!!
I'd like to just even go out for an all night turnaround on a KH class now. My prefered carrier of the class to do such on however would be quite impossible to do that now though. The Kitty Hawk Class IF maintained correctly were tough carriers thats for sure. That was not a referal to her problems but rather the Navy not letting the last KH and the JFK class carrier go through S.L.E.P.
I hope the Intrepid can raise the needed funds to keep the ship alive.
