hoping to see the Kennedy
I've been making calls this morning to Navy public affairs offices from Norfolk to Jacksonville in hopes of getting onto Mayport Naval Station and the John F. Kennedy. I am curious to see what the ship looks like now and to see the work going on to prepare her for long term storage up in PA. I'd love to hear from any Kennedy sailors or contractors who've been doing this work. Or if you've ever helped decomm another ship, drop me a line and tell me about it. Post a comment here or e-mail me at jeff.brumley@jacksonville.com.

Jeff,
I spoke to my son yesterday afternoon (he is on the JFK until 4/19) and he told me that yesterday was the last day they would be unloading stuff from the ship. He said now they will just be clearing out spaces. Whatever that means. Anyway he said they now only had watch every 13th day(? I think) and there is not really much to do.
interesting and thanks for the scuttlebutt. i know there many, many compartments on the ship that must be closed and sealed, so it sounds like they are in that process now.
