The USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) is the only ship of her class, a subclass of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier, and the last conventionally powered carrier built for the United States Navy. The ship is named after the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and is nicknamed “Big John.” After nearly 40 years of service, Kennedy was officially decommissioned in 2007. As the last retired U.S. Aircraft Carrier that is non-nuclear, she’ll likely be the last carrier offered for public use.

Navy League Sea-Air-Space Expo 2013: Report from Project President Frank Lennon
Representatives and leadership from the project attended the Navy League’s Exposition from April 7-10, 2013. Our participation in this event was productive and well-received, both by the Navy and the defense industry. Our location could not have been better; our 14-foot model and exhibit was located at the base of the escalator used by all show attendees to access the exhibit hall. Everyone entering or leaving the hall had to pass by us.
