A friend of mine (Lt Cmdr - Navy) and I were walking UNDER the USS JFKennedy (CV67). It was “up” in dry dock. (It makes the hairs on your head tingle when you walk under it! :-) But I said to him, “Wow, this thing is so huge, how could the bad guys ever sink it?!!” He said, “If you know where to throw the hand grenade, it isn’t too difficult!” Of course I laughed along with him ... but I also never forgot what he said! This reminded me of that day long ago.

Conventionally powered CV 67 was decommissioned in 2008. Sadly was not allowed to be upgraded to a nuke power plant and kept in service. Now in Philly Naval Storage awaiting fate.
