24SEP26.2312 - Hi Y'all, Alrighty, some really cool/exciting/breaking news for everyone! :)
If all goes well, PCU (USS) JOHN F. KENNEDY (CVN 79) will be changing berths or locations in the coming days. She will move or shift from Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Virginia to NOB/NAVSTA NORVA. NOW, LET ME BE VERY OR PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT DOES NOT MEAN THE SHIP IS ABOUT TO BE COMISSIONED. LET ME REPEAT THAT, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE SHIP IS ABOUT TO BE COMISSIONED. However, things continue to look better and better for 2027, and right now, BUT, subject to be changed Spring 2027. Talks are going on between the ship, the Navy, the Navy League and most importantly OUR Caroline and the Kennedy Family. The date most people really like is 29 MAY 27, which would be President Kennedy's 110th birthday (Of course, JFK-67 was Christened in 1967, not on 29 May, but on 27 May). The Commissioning Date remains To Be Determined or TBD. So, PLEASE DO NOT start heading to NORVA. As things develop, as I do, I'll put the word out. :)
Now, how's that for some "Breaking News"! :)
TCAMGB.
V/R-Your Shipmate,
Bob Haner
