The United States Navy has confirmed that the future aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) will now be delivered in March 2027, marking a two-year delay from the originally planned July 2025 delivery. This postponement will temporarily reduce the Navy's carrier fleet to ten, as the 50-year-old USS Nimitz (CVN-68) is set for retirement in May 2026.
