The USS John F. Kennedy has almost reached its final port of call!

Happy Thursday! 

It sure got chilly overnight, nonetheless it was a sunny pretty day as we start to prepare for Valentine’s Day! 

We would like to wish a, “Happy Galentine’s” to everyone especially the ladies and their friends! 

Did anyone see the Port of Brownsville’s Port Matters Newsletter on February 11, 2025, they had a press release titled, “Honoring a Legacy – USS John F. Kennedy Makes Final Voyage to Port of Brownsville”?

We blogged on the USS John F. Kennedy’s (CV-67) heading to its final destination to Port of Brownsville earlier this year, hence it seemed we should let you know how the journey is proceeding.  Well, it seems the journey is almost over!  Last week the aircraft carrier entered the Port of Brownsville on its way to International Shipbreaking Ltd. where it will be disassembled and salvaged.  The vessel was made with high-grade steel which should mean it has another use in its future.  The Port of Brownsville has a made a name for itself and its workforce for salvaging retired U.S. Maritime and Military vessels.  Three key ship salvaging businesses call Port of Brownsville home, and they salvage the vast majority of the U.S. Maritime and Military vessels.  If you would like to read more on the last adventure of USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) on the way to the Port of Brownsville, please click the link Honoring a Legacy: USS John F. Kennedy Makes Final Voyage to Port of Brownsville – Portof Brownsville.

We would like to say farewell to the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67)!  We would like to thank you for protecting all which served on you and for protecting our shores and our allies’ shores from those who wished us harm!
