For those who may have served on her or visited they decommisioned the USS John F. Kennedy today in Mayport. I didn't serve on her but when I joined up I was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS FDR. The next time I saw my best friend from High School was when the JFK entered the Med and we were already there. I went over to visit and check out the Big Carrier. She was a drastic change from our WWII boat.
Made the world seem smaller that day when two high school buddies from Iowa met in the Med half way around the world on two of the biggest weapons platforms ever created. I was surprised to see the announcement today that they were shutting her down. I guess time is marching on faster than I realize.
