What makes me sad is the ship she sits next to. Served aboard the JFK back in the early 90's. Last of her kind, and last chance to have a "modern" museum aircraft carrier. I want to come see her leave, but at the same time, It will suck so much.

The JFK is down in the navy yard

U.S.S. John F Kennedy is scheduled to be taken to the breakers as well. She will be cut up for scrap.

Such a shame. Love walking by it when I’m down there

Ah, not sure why I thought they were side by side. Especially since I saw the old girl last time I was in Philly.

JFK used to be parked next to Forrestal before the latter was scrapped.

Oh, that's a tragedy. Fuck. The JFK should absolutely be preserved.
