The aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy won’t require an upgrade process to operate the new F-35C fighter.
The carrier is 76 percent structurally complete and is on track for a 2024 delivery to the U.S. Navy.
The USS Kennedy will be the second aircraft carrier named after the 35th President of the United States.
The future aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy is on track for 2024, and unlike the previous ship in her class, she won’t require returning to the shipyard later in order to fly the F-35C fighter.
