Sold for a Penny: The Final Voyage of America’s Last Great Carrier

Once the pride of the US Navy, the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) ended her remarkable 40-plus-year career not with a triumphant return, but a sale for just one penny. This video uncovers what gave life to the last conventionally powered carrier through decades of Cold War patrols and combat operations, why her dismantling marks the end of an era for American sea power, and how her story reflects a turning point in naval history that’s far more symbolic—and surprising—than most realize.
