Interesting discussion over this, but I doubt this will go anywhere as I doubt NATO could afford to maintain the Kennedy, even to get it to sea, much less keep her flight ops capable. The logistics tail for a CV is pretty incredible, and Kennedy is old, and worn out, so keeping her up would be very costly. Still if someone out there is willing to pay us for such a lousy investment, take the money. My concern is NATO would come back and ask us for funds to support her, when the point of shedding her is to afford the fleet we already have.

I still believe the only reason she has survived this long is her namesake. Dems will do anything to keep the name Kennedy on a major combatant ship. And dont be surprised if under a Dem admin you see the USS 'Bent' Clinton commissioned. (Arrgggg)

Before this administration ends, they will name some supply vessel or other support ship after Clinton to use up the name.
