US aircraft carrier "JFK" - one name, two generations
The famous US aircraft carrier, the "John F. Kennedy" (CV-67), has embarked on its final journey to be scrapped. Plans to turn the veteran into a floating museum have failed for cost reasons, but the story will continue. From 16 January, three tugs towed the "Big John" from her anchorage off Philadelphia down the east coast of the USA to the Gulf of Mexico in Brownsville, Texas. The cutting torches have been waiting for the Hulk there since 28 January 2025.

It is called "Project Sea 1180" and comprises six (optionally twelve) OPVs of 80 metres in length and 1,700 tonnes displacement - ordered from Naval Vessels Lürssen (NVL). The Arafura class was developed from the Darussalam OPV built for Brunei. Two boats were to be built at Osborne in Adelaide on the south-east coast and the other four at Civmec in Henderson/Perth in the west with technology transfer from Lürssen.
