I too have read that the JFK is being decommed. I know congress is pretty mad at the Navy too because the Japs won't let a nuclear powered carrier to be stationed there. Which leaves what, one conventional carrier after the JFK ( the Kitty Hawk, correct me if I'm wrong). Congress, especially Sen. McCain (R-Arizona) have told the Navy to find a solution to this problem, especially since the next carrier on the way is the George H.W. Bush and that too is nuclear. There has been some speculation that the Navy is decomming the JFK because of it's attached namesake, meaning that since so many people loved JFK the person, it will bring sympathy to the Navy in terms of its budget.
EDIT: A4's is right the Ike is a nuke... I knew that, but who knows what I was thinking.
