USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) (formerly CVA-67) is the only ship of her class, a subclass of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier, and the last conventionally powered carrier built for the United States Navy. The ship is named after the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and is nicknamed "Big John." Kennedy was originally designated a CVA (fixed wing attack carrier); however, the designation was changed to CV to denote that the ship was capable of anti-submarine warfare, making her an all-purpose carrier.

| - De USS John F. Kennedy (designatie: CV-67, voorheen: CVA-67) was een supervliegdekschip van de United States Navy. Het schip werd in 1968 in dienst genomen. Na bijna 40 jaar dienst is het in 2007 weer uit dienst genomen. Het was het enige schip uit de John F. Kennedy-klasse die genoemd werd naar oud-president John F. Kennedy. De USS John F. Kennedy was oorspronkelijk besteld in de nucleair aangedreven Enterprise-klasse. Omdat de kosten daarvoor te hoog opliepen werd het herbesteld in een aparte met conventionele stoomturbines aangedreven klasse. Sinds de uitdiensttreding in 2007 is de USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) het enige overgebleven supervliegdekschip zonder kernaandrijving.

After nearly 40 years of service in the United States Navy, Kennedy was officially decommissioned on 1 August 2007. She is berthed at the NAVSEA Inactive Ships On-site Maintenance facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is available for donation as a museum and memorial to a qualified organization. The name has been adopted by the future Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN-79).
