USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67)

USS John F. Kennedy (CVA/CV-67) (or Big John) is a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. The ship was originally designated a CVA, or strictly an air combat ship; however, the designation was changed to CV to denote that the ship was capable of anti-submarine warfare (ASW), making it an all-purpose carrier.
