#1 son was on the JFK CV-67 during Gulf war, then he transferred to the Kitty Hawk, ended up going back to the Gulf for a second tour. Now he is a veteran of two foreign wars. I took a Tiger cruise from Florida to Newport just before he switched. Weather was rough and we were a day late getting back to port, passed the Kitty Hawk leaving on the way in.
