BOSTON (March 1, 2007) - More than 1,000 Sailors man the rails of USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) as she makes her transit to her final port call in Boston after 38 years of service. Kennedy and her crew have begun a five-day port visit to the home of her namesake prior to decommissioning March 23, 2007, in Mayport, Fla.

"After she's decommissioned, the carrier force will be 100% nuke-powered models. " Um, Mr. Wolfwalker, sir, that isn't quite true. There's still oil-burners in the Fleet. Kitty Hawk based out at Yokosuka.

I taxied past CV-67 today just after we landed in Boston. That's a BIG boat even from half a mile away! I got a tour of sorts when it was in Pensacola in Mar 2004. It was even bigger up close!

We should sell her to the Chinese to be an amusement park... oh wait, they've already got an aircraft carrier amusement park. Never mind. Mebbe turn her into a floating casino in Bahston Hahbah.

I think it's worth noting that Kennedy was the last of the USN's oil-burner aircraft carriers. After she's decommissioned, the carrier force will be 100% nuke-powered models.
