Kennedy.    Kennedy was christened on May 27, 1967 by Jacqueline Kennedy and her daughter, Caroline, at Newport News.  It entered service on September 7, 1968.  Kennedy's maiden voyage and several of its subsequent voyages, were on deployments to Mediterranean,  In the 1970s, Kennedy was upgraded to handle the F-14 Tomcat and the S-3 Viking.  It won the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award for the Atlantic Fleet and won again its second Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award in 1979.  In 1982, after transiting the Suez Canal, Kennedy departed for its ninth deployment.  In 1984, Kennedy was drydocked at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a complex overhaul and upgrades.  In July 1986, Kennedy particpated in the International Naval Rewview to help mark the Re-dedication of the Statue of Liberty.  Before departing on an overseas deployment to the Mediterranean in August, the ship served as the flagship for the Amada.  In August 1988, Kennedy departed for its twelfth overseas deployment.   Kennedy returned to the U.S. to participate in Fleet Week in New York and July 4 celebrations in Boston before being mobilized for Operation Desert Shield in August 1990.  Kennedy launched 114 airstrikes and nearly 2,900 sorties against Iraq, between the commencement of Operation Desert Storm and the presidential cease-fire.   In 2001, Kennedy was found to be severely deficient in some respects during a pre-deployment trial including air group operations, some non-functional air catapults and aircraft elevators.  Kennedy dropped 31,000 tons of ordnance on Taliban and Al Qaeda targets during the first six months of 2002.  Kennedy was towed to Norfolk, VA on July 26, 2007.            Model #: MBACJFK15 Scale: 1/800Length: 15.7” Width: 5” Height: 3.8” Material Used: Mahogany Wood   Modelworks: Hand-crafted Museum Quality Display Ship Models Modelworks has been producing the world’s finest collection of hand-made and hand-painted model ships for over 20 years.
