USS John F. Kennedy Decommissioned and Sold for 1 Cent for Dismantling

DEFENSE

The USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) was decommissioned and sold for one cent for dismantling after proposals for its preservation as a museum failed. It departed for dismantling in Brownsville, Texas, where the process will involve recycling materials and managing hazardous waste. The Navy is also navigating challenges related to the costly retirement of future nuclear-powered carriers while striving to maintain an 11-carrier fleet.
