and most likely the Kitty Hawk

The Kitty Hawk has a one way ticket to the scrap yard.

OK...I was speculating on the KH, however, will there not most likely be a carrier in that area for air patrol, etc. assigned to the 4th? I figured with Pensacola, Jacksonville around, and Charleston, SC close by, they’d have more than enough places to dock a carrier(s). Those ports not big enough for a Nimitz class or only one carrier per port? Just curious. I like the idea of having some more Navy muscle in that area (China sub crap incidents and all)......we need it and seems to be a good area for training.

Nope. She'll either end up as a museum ship (Wilmington, NC has a group trying to get funding together to bring her there. Major issues exist with Wilmington not being big enough to handle a supercarrier), or get sunk like America was, and Forrestfire, Constellation and Independence are scheduled to be.
