USS JOHN F. KENNEDY CVN-79
aircraft carrier model

USS John F. Kennedy  aircraft carrier is the second Gerald R. Ford-class built for the United States Navy.

John F. Kennedy's keel was laid in Newport News, Virginia on 22 August 2015. As part of the traditional keel laying ceremony, the initials of ship sponsor Caroline Kennedy, daughter of President Kennedy and the sponsor of the previous John F. Kennedy, were welded into the ship's hull. The ship was christened on 7 December 2019 by Caroline Kennedy, who reenacted the bottle bash she did when the first John F. Kennedy (CV-67) was christened 52 years earlier.

The ship began testing her Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System in 2022, and her combat system in 2023. She is scheduled to be delivered in 2025.

The USS John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier can carry up to 90 aircrafts - 30 more than Nimitz class. She can sustain 160 sorties per day for 30-plus days, with a surge capability of 270 sorties per day. Underneath the massive steel deck, the ship features 40 refueling stations and a revised configuration for her weapons elevators. She could achieve about 30 percent greater sortie generation rates than her predecessors.

Carrier radars play an essential role in detecting threats. The Nimitz class requires half a dozen different radars to accomplish all the necessary functions, from detection to tracking to target identification. The USS John F. Kennedy's design replaces this collection of sensors with a single multifunction radar that takes up much less space. The system is much more sensitive than previous air-defense radars and easy to maintain (no moving parts). Because it requires less space, the island becomes smaller, reducing the carrier’s own radar signature.

The smaller, redesigned island is further aft than those of older aircraft carriers. This change creates deck space for a centralized rearming and refueling location, and thereby reduces the number of times that an aircraft will have to be moved after landing before it can be relaunched. Fewer aircraft movements require, in turn, fewer deck hands to accomplish them, reducing the size of the ship's crew and increasing sortie rate. Nimitz-class carrier needs a remarkable 5,000 sailors (including airwing staff) to operate1,100 fewer personnel required to operate the USS John F. Kennedy – a 20 percent reduction from the Nimitz.  

CVN-79 has very good air conditioning in the bridge. This not only makes the crew more productive but also reduces maintenance requirements because of lower level of humidity. CVN-79 is projected to enter drydock only once every 12 years.

John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier's twin nuclear reactors are almost three times more powerful than the ones onboard the Nimitz-class—generating 250 percent more electricity. The increased generating capacity is needed to support futuristic ship defenses like high-power lasers. The ship produces 400,000 gallons of fresh water daily.



John F. Kennedy
carrier will cost $4 billion less to operate across its 50-year lifetime than a Nimitz-class carrier. That is a great bargain for a warship that is far superior to what came before in virtually every performance metric.

The waterline model was first commissioned by an ex navy whose knowledge about the JFK aircraft carrier was extensive. We can sure build the ship full hull. Please let us know of your interest. Our email is services@modelshipmaster.com or modelshipmaster@hotmail.com
