RIP J.F.Kennedy

Wasn't John F. Kennedy scheduled to replace Kitty Hawk at Yokosuka
from 2008?

Regards,

Per Nordenberg


Some time ago in the Polish press I've come across a news that the
U.S. is seriously considering reducing their military presence in
Japan, shifting their units to more far-away places like Okinawa (so,
is re-basing of the whole CVW-5 from NAF Atsugi to MCAS Iwakuni
possible in the future?)...

I know nothing about any available ports for a carrier farther from
Japan. Anyhow, it seems the Japanese may finally accept the presence
of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in one of their ports.

Best regards,

The last thing the folks on Okinawa want is more US forces. They bearly
tolerate us now........ :-(
If anything we seem to be improving facilties at Guam. And who knows
maybe we will kiss & make up with the Philppines and make the bartenders
outside of Subic happy again?

But what about the monkey meat salesmen?

In spite of all of your previous silliness you've not even come close
to my killfile. However, your new policy of making random comments
into the void is getting close.

I would guess that you and some of your horts are not seeing that these
posts are replies to others, it's not about you, so live with it or
learn to see what is being responded to. Put me in your killfile if you
wish, ducking the issue is your style when you can't come up with one
of your 'imaginary' references.

Jacek- I know nothing about any available ports for a carrier farther from
Japan. Anyhow, it seems the Japanese may finally accept the presence
of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in one of their ports. BRBR

I say-as a member of the 'overseas family separation program', onboard Midway
from 1980-1983, seems like considering the present state of affairs, it is high
time for Japan to step up to the plate and pay for their own defense.

I say ditto for lots of US military presence in Europe.

Hi Jacek,
Do you think that the Polish Navy would be interested in a good used CV?
:-)
Actually, the Kennedy is conventionally powered, not a nuke, so the
Japanese should be happy.....

The Japanese objection to nuclear powered warships has to be historical
and political and may someday be overcome since there is nuclear powered
electrical generation in Japan.

But, nobody really why the US says that.
Since historically Japanese technology has been
designed only for one purpose really, to best
Chinese technology. And for the most
part their navy and the western navies
have never clashed. Since the US navy
needs constant reminding that is was the
Japanese army, not their navy or air force,
that attacked Hawaii.
