USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) 1-2400
USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) Deck — 1-2400 Scale Deck Decal
Historically accurate 1-2400 scale aircraft carrier deck decal representing USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) in the Cold War Deck configuration.
This Cold War Deck version represents the ship’s jet-era configuration as depicted by the Alnavco/Superior miniature. Flight-deck markings, defensive systems, and aircraft-handling arrangements changed during refits and air-wing transitions, so the ship’s appearance varied by deployment and date.
Historical Information
The USS John F. Kennedy (CVA/CV-67) was a conventionally powered carrier derived from the Kitty Hawk design but sufficiently modified to form a one-ship class. Built by Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, she was commissioned on September 7, 1968.
John F. Kennedy served primarily with the Atlantic Fleet and operated extensively in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Her aircraft flew combat missions during the 1983–84 Lebanon crisis, and the carrier later served as flagship of the Red Sea Battle Force during Operation Desert Storm before supporting Operation Southern Watch and Operation Enduring Freedom.
