we cruised with the JFK, and it is truly impressive to see something that big cruise at 40 knots.

It was fun being on her during trials. Never seen a carrier shoot a rooster tail! Oh, and the combat turns they were doing were pretty wild also!

I bet! i found that picture and the story on the internet about a year ago. i wasn't even notified when she was decommissioned. i thought they did that for plank owners, but i guess not. i would have gone down to VA for the ceremony.
