There’s no reason to keep the Kitty Hawk considering the Navy has twelve carriers and is still building more. Having another old carrier that will be an expensive boondoggle to upgrade doesn’t appeal to anybody, and as aircraft grow larger an older ‘60s carrier will be less and less futureproof. There’s a reason why Enterprise is going to join Kitty Hawk in the retirement bin, after all…

Don’t retire it. We still may need it. We still may use it for defense in future battes, there is still a potential danger from rougue nations like Iran, North Korea and it’s allies.

I was on the Kittyhawk in 1985 to 1989. It was still a steam turbine engine running on jp-4 fuel..

PLEASE HELP!!!!

My name is Angel Adkins-Farsi, I’m the daughter of the late Roger D. (Doc) Adkins. He served on The USS Kitty Hawk from Feb.1973 to 1974 just after the Dec. 1973 explosion (Fire), where he was injured.

I’m looking for anyone with any pics and/or information that might help me in my search to know My Dad better. We met for the 1st time last yr. in July, & he was very sick, I spent the last few months of his Life getting to know him.

But, Dad was sick most of the time & was always in need of Dr.s’ care. With failing health Dad past away on the 27th day of May 2009.

Any help that I can get would be greatful. Thank you ALL for your service to Our Country.

Sincerely, Angel Adkins– Farsi
