Hello,

Floating drydock has Kennedy plans for a 1980 build. I would guess that the hanger bay layout stayed the same throughout the years.

Good luck,

Mark

Thanks, Mark! I just ordered the plans from Floating Drydock but the best I can tell, the hangar deck plans are not included. Hope I'm wrong!

Hi Dave,

I have many of their plans and they generally have all the deck layouts so it should include the hanger bay.

Good Luck,

Mark

That's what I thought. With that being said, do any of you guys know where I can find something showing all the hangar deck walls. I've found a few pictures but nothing really helps.

Thanks David for the pics! There are some there I have and some I don't. I also appreciate the drawings for the Saratoga. I can see that they will be very helpful as well. (to bad Bert Kinsey didn't put pics of the hangar bay in his book on the Kennedy like he did for the Enterprise)

I got my drawings of the Kennedy today from the Floating Drydock. They include four huge sheets, 30" x 72" showing the flight deck on one sheet, the Main Deck (which looks like the Hangar Deck) and the Second Deck on another sheet, the starboard profile on another sheet, and the portside profile and island levels on another sheet. Looks to be a great deal of useful information.

Yep, you are right! Just skimming over the plans, I believe I got more than I bargained for. These plans will be a huge benefit when it comes to building the Kennedy. I am hoping to do a good representation of her as she was in 1992-93.

Does anyone know how many MD-3s and P-25s are assigned to a carrier? I know there is a minimum of two P-25s.

Any set out there? My commander and chief aka wife handed me a box today it was the 1/350 jfk she got it because I loved the f14 squadron in the kit the Jolly rogers. I was going to order the detail set for the kitty hawk.. but re read this section… I don’t care about the number being in photo etch just the island details… thanks

For anybody.
Based on the drawings from the floating drydock (Inaccurate) and from numerous photos, here is my drawing of the USS John Fitzgerald Kennedy CVA-67 in around 1987:
