    USS Harry S. Truman involved in collision near Egypt, Navy says


    The USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier was involved in a collision Wednesday with a merchant vessel near Port Said, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea, the Navy announced.

    “The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) was involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Besiktas-M at approximately 11:46 p.m. local time, Feb. 12, while operating in the vicinity of Port Said, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea,” the Navy’s Sixth Fleet Public Affairs said in a statement.

  • Former USS John F. Kennedy towed down Delaware River as aircraft carrier begins journey out of Philadelphia Navy Yard


    PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The decommissioned aircraft carrier, formerly named after President John F. Kennedy, has begun its journey as it heads south from the Philadelphia Navy Yard to the scrapyard.

    Towboats began towing the vessel down the Delaware River around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday to begin the journey to Brownsville, Texas.

    The large ship will be towed through the Delaware River, through the Delaware Bay and into the Atlantic Ocean. Once it reaches the Gulf Coast of Texas, crews will dismantle the Kennedy.

    The move to Texas was pushed back after a delay on Wednesday.

    Ray Staley and Michael Marchesse served onboard from 1971 to 1973 – just two kids from Norristown.

    “We met in the ship’s library and we found out we had mutual friends, and lived five miles from each other. We’ve been friends for 52 years,” said Michael Marchesse of Norristown.

    In Chester, the veterans were joined by dozens of other onlookers who were watching as the aircraft carrier passed by.

    Some of them were reminded of their time in the Navy.

    “No regrets at all, a wonderful experience. Lucked out,” said Ray Staley of Royersford.

    The aircraft carrier conducted US Navy missions worldwide during its 39 years of service.

    The ship conducted 18 deployments including to the Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian, Ionian, Ligurian, Aegean and Adriatic seas, during a period of escalating tension in the Middle East and North Africa, often while under the surveillance of Soviet ships.

    It was the Navy’s final conventionally-powered aircraft carrier before switching to nuclear power.

    “Big John,” as it was affectionately nicknamed, was decommissioned in 2007 and has been in Philadelphia ever since.

    A new aircraft carrier named after JFK will enter service later this year.

    The former USS John F. Kennedy, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, was recently towed down the Delaware River as it begins its journey out of the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The massive vessel, once a symbol of American military power, is now being retired and will eventually be scrapped.

    The USS John F. Kennedy served in the United States Navy for over 30 years before being decommissioned in 2007. Since then, it has been docked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, awaiting its fate.

    As the aircraft carrier was slowly towed down the river, crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of this historic moment. Many former crew members and veterans of the USS John F. Kennedy were also in attendance, bidding farewell to the ship that had been such a significant part of their lives.

    The journey of the USS John F. Kennedy out of Philadelphia marks the end of an era, but also serves as a reminder of the important role that aircraft carriers play in the defense of our nation. As the massive vessel makes its way to its final destination, we honor its service and the men and women who served aboard it.
