Yeah, a couple hundred miles off the east coast, a few thousand feet down.
The Kitty Hawk is the oldest KH Class between KH, CONSTELLATION, and AMERICA the JFK the newest and her own class.
True, but the Kitty Hawk went through a full three year SLEP overhaul while the Kennedy did not. She's been used and abused for the last 10 years or more. Maintenance funding has been hard to come by because she's always supposed to have been decommissioned in a year or so. If as an earlier post reported, the Kennedy is too decrepit to support fixed wing aircraft then there is no reason to keep her around, and nobody else in their right mind who would want her.
I can give you more info on the AMERICA in private if you want.
That's OK. I'm ex Navy myself.
It's a shame those those two ships could have seen service into early 2010's if kept up right. If she's that bad she needs to go then. Nobody needs decapitated by a steam leak or worse. I'm real surprised Teddy hasn't called for museum hold though. I'm gonna look around and see if they sank the ORISKANY this morning.
