USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I live in JAX where the Kennedy's home port is and I recall it just went under about 6 months of repairs/upgrades.
Aussies offer us a homeport for one.
That'd be nice.

As to the Aussies, it's totally conjecture on my part. But we are in the process of opening some kind of forward training base with us.
