In the June 9 issue of TNA, I read with interest the article "Coal in Your Cars' Tank" on making gasoline and diesel fuel from nuclear-powered coal-to-liquid technology. In that article is a caption about the safety of nuclear power that references nuclear-powered Navy ships. Interestingly, the ship in the picture is the now decommissioned USS John F. Kennedy CV-67, which is the last oil-fired carrier built by the U.S. Navy. The USS Kitty Hawk CV-63 is the last operational oil-fired carrier. She is on her last operation RimPac now and will then return to the USA for decommissioning next year. Sorry to see her go. I was aboard for a cruise in 1996. Keep up the great work!
