Talk:USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67)

message: Jackie Kennedy is listed as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the picture from 1967 with Caroline christening the ship. She did not marry Ari Onassis until October 1968 so she should properly be listed as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk • contribs) 00:26, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The JFK CV-67 Memorial Foundation, Inc. seeks to transform the recently decommissioned vessel into the "John F. Kennedy Maritime Museum," a world-class facility honoring the ship, 500,000-plus dedicated sailors and aviators who served on her, and of course her namesake, President John F. Kennedy.  It hopes to place her, in perpetuity, in a suitable site where her legacy can be maintained and where she can continue to serve as a vital symbol of America, an educational site, an inspiring museum and a living memorial to the patriotic Americans who served aboard her.

message: As the JFK is one of the oldest active carriers, and likely to be replaced relatively soon, perhaps we could have some information about the Navy's intentions with regard to her disposition?  Museum, scrap, etc.? Streltzer 16:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The WASP class was started with the USS Wasp, commissioned in 89, there are 8, all are active, and a 9th is under construction. There are NO Wasp class available, and what says they would be better and cheaper? They are fairly newly designed, and launched. The JFK would likely do a fair job, if chosen, however, it is more likely to become a museum, and a target for "treehugger", it is one of the last large Ships to use Oil... likely the main reason it was decommed... AGW and all that, al gore, limolibs and such, withstanding.--24.131.214.51 (talk) 03:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, seven Wasps (LHDs) are in service, with the eighth, USS Makin Island (LHD-8), scheduled to commission in late 2008. There is the new LHA-6 class, which is based on the Makin Island, being developed, but the first one is still years off, assuming it survives the next presidential administration's budget. There are, however, three Tarawa class ships (LHAs) in mothballs, the third having coming out fairly recently. Since the LHA/LHDs are designed for helicopter operations, they would probably be better suited for such roles, as those are generally the ships the USN sends in first in these types of situations anyway. Anyway, that link is about 2 years old, and is from an op-ed-type piece anyway - the fact that nothing much has been mentioned since probably shows it was just a long-shot idea anyway. - BillCJ (talk) 03:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

message: There's a discrepancy with the decommissioning date. The article lists August 1, 2007 per the Navy Vessel Register, but there was a ceremony on March 23. Is the ceremony not the actual date of decommission?

thread_title: Decommissioning date

message: Jackie Kennedy did not marry Aristotle Onassis until 1968. The JFK CV 67 was laid down in '64 and launched in '67. The article lists her has the sponsor of the JFK with Onassis as her last name. The Navy's commisioning papers for the JFK CV 67 show her name as sponsor as Kennedy. Historic Preservationists like myself see a huge difference in such points. It's not as if anyone will make a mistake about which Jackie is being talked about.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Devildave (talk • contribs) 17:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: We know that the Kennedy is on 'donation hold', but I read that it is at the Philadelphia Reserve Fleet. What condition is she in? Could she be re-activated if needed? What I'd like to know is if she could be considered as being "in reserve"...? -  theWOLFchild 02:03, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
