USS Kitty Hawk Final Transit To Salvage Yard For Scrap

Navy tug boats support the exUSS Kitty Hawk towing in its final transit from Naval Base Kitsap Bremerton, Washington, Jan. 15, 2022, to a shipbreaking facility in Brownsville, Texas. USS Kitty Hawk, the Navys last commissioned conventionalpowered aircraft carrier, operated for 48 years before it was decommissioned in 2009. Like other Navy aircraft carriers since USS Langleys commissioning 100 years ago, USS Kitty Hawk and the rest of our nations aircraft carriers and embarked carrier air wings have projected power, sustained sea control, bolstered deterrence, provided humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and maintained our enduring commitments all over the world.
