The
Kitty Hawk by Doug Keller |
| Here's a great picture of
the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63 at sea. When this west pac kitty hawk cruise
started in October of 1977 the ship had been freshly rebuilt. Every
part was clean and like new. The kitty hawk was one of the most advanced
aircraft carriers in the navy. The kitty hawk saw the first
pacific deployment of the f14 tomcats with vf-114 the fighting aardvarks
and vf-213 the black lions. The USS Kitty Hawk was also the first
ship to do an operational test of the harpoon anti ship cruise missile
which happened on this cruise. Believe me, if you want adventure,
you need to join the navy and sail on great aircraft carriers like the
USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. C. Jeff Dyrek, webmaster
