..."That designation actually goes to the four ships of the conventionally powered Forrestal-class (while all following supercarriers were nuclear powered),"...

The Kitty Hawk Class were the last conventionally-powered super carriers, not the Forrestal-class.

Being a Naval Aviator off of a US Carrier has to be the best job in the world.

Life on the boat is truly a wonderful thing. The best 9 months of the nine years I spent in the Marine Corps was haze gray and underway.
Back when I seeing the world at 21, the Navy still a had a conventional powered carrier forward deployed to Japan, the Kitty Hawk.
Now it's nukes everywhere, and I believe the last of the conventional boats have all been sent to the scrap yard.....
