Also fun fact Midway's rebuild in the 60s was only marginally less expensive than building the JFK was. Mind you since McNamara had JFK converted midway through construction from being powered by 4 reactors to being conventionally powered(which made her not the easiest ship to maintain(and caused structural problems that the USN never could fully fix) there's a reason why the USN decommissioned her 12 years ahead of schedule and it wasn't the cost a 15 month refit although that was the excuse given), so the USN would have been better off building another Kitty Hawk rather than ruining Midway
Kennedy, Kitty Hawk and Ranger, right?
