Now you know why she was also refered to as the "Sh!tty Kitty" decades ago when I was station on her sister ship the USS Midway (CV-41).
I read a small article in a magazine at Barnes and Noble (Sea Classics) that talked about a probe and investigation about the Kitty Hawks maintenance records for the last ten years.. but never did find out what came of it.
The article hinted that the officers of the ship over the year and higher level command deffered some standard upkeep on the ship over the years..
Kitty did real well all things considered. She was the oldest carrier of her class surviving the other two in it {the newest Kitty Hawk class carrier by over a 12 years} and even outlasted the newest conventional JFK as well. The truth is though her age is what makes her unsafe now. A 1200 PSI steam system 60 years old is dangerous. A leak in the steam lines the size of a number 2 pencil lead will dismember ya real quick. You won't see it, you won't hear it. Snipes use broom handles to test the lines with. If the broom handle gets cut in half you found a leak.
Believe it or not the worse leak will cause the engine room to go silent. The leak is beyond human hearing range and if you go down there and can't hear anything including equipment running just silence, then get out. Go to the ECO switches and trip it off line.
