Kittyhawk-Class Carrier

The American Kitty Hawk class continued the development of large conventionally powered supercarriers after the Forrestal class. They supported jet aircraft through major Cold War and later operations, with substantial differences in equipment and refits over their long careers. Their conventional propulsion distinguished them from Enterprise and the Nimitz class. Kitty Hawk and Constellation were followed by related ships with configuration differences, including America and John F. Kennedy in broader discussions of the lineage. Long service included Vietnam and later deployments. Their oil-fired propulsion distinguished them from Enterprise and the subsequent Nimitz nuclear carriers. Conventional propulsion distinguished these carriers from the later nuclear-powered Nimitz class.
