Sorry @bd popeye, you are one of my favorite forum members. You show images of everyday life on an aircraft carrier, which I like to look at. So far, I have given likes for pictures of things that I have not seen before or that serve as a striking argument in a discussion.
Once again thanks for the responses guys...I was just curious.

From the Office of the Navy Chief of Information
NEWPORT NEWS, Virginia. (NNS) -- The Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, the future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN 79), will be christened on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019, during an 11 a.m. EST ceremony at Newport News, Virginia.
John F. Kennedy is the second aircraft carrier of the Gerald R. Ford class, slated to replace USS Nimitz (CVN 68), when that ship is decommissioned.
Former NASA Administrator Maj. Gen. Charles F. Bolden, USMC (Ret.), will deliver the ceremony's keynote address. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, President Kennedy’s daughter, will serve as the ship's sponsor and break a bottle of American sparkling wine against a plate welded to the hull.
“USS John F. Kennedy will carry the legacy of its namesake and the power of our nation,” said Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly. “The advanced technology and warfighting capabilities this aircraft carrier brings to our global challenges will strengthen our allies and partners, extend our reach against potential adversaries, and further the global mission of our integrated naval force.”
CVN 79 is the second aircraft carrier to honor President John F. Kennedy for a lifetime of service to the nation. The president wore the uniform of our nation as a Navy lieutenant during World War II and served as the 35th President of the United States, from January 1961 to November 1963.
John F. Kennedy, along with its embarked air wing and other strike group assets, will provide the core capabilities of forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, maritime security and humanitarian assistance.

incredible description of "These innovations will support a 33% higher sortie generation rate at a significant cost savings, when compared to Nimitz-class carriers."
LOL it really takes a team of spin doctors to say that
Sorry, was offsite for day. Love everybody's pics, I think I'm particularly enamored with QE and PoW pics right now. I guess right now I'm suffering from taking the familiar for granted, don't mean to show disrespect. Will try to be more liberal with the likes. Appreciate all of this forum and particularly this thread's participants.

Rosy pictures? I like them. That's what the US Navy is publishing.....
Here's another rosy photo of HMS Prince of Wales (R09) from almost a month ago..
