USS Kitty Hawk 1/1350 Scale (35.89”) Diorama The USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), formerly CVA-63 was both the first and last active ship of her class, and the last oil fired aircraft carrier in service with the US Navy. Kitty Hawk was commissioned April 21, 1961. With the decommissioning of Independence on 30 September 1998, Kitty Hawk became the United States warship with the second longest active status in the Navy – the USS Constitution sailing ship in Boston Harbor is still retained on active Navy status. At the start of 2013, this status had been surpassed by only one other ship, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) prior to her inactivation in 2012. Kitty Hawk was officially decommissioned on May 12, 2009 after almost 49 years of service.
