 Fleet Week - New York City   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
USS John F. Kennedy has proudly served our Nation at sea since 1968, providing critical presence in times of peace and rolling back aggression during times of crisis.
USS John F. Kennedy is 1,052 ft. long, has a flight deck breadth of 252 feet, and displaces more than 82,000 tons when fully loaded.
It takes its nickname, the "Starfish," for this technology because it functions like a real starfish which relies on radial nerves running the length of each ray and connecting to other radial nerves via a nerve ringing the body.

Upon arriving in the vicinity of Johnston Island it was found to be a small ancient atoll (80 million years old and perhaps the most isolated reef in the world) with a recently constructed rocket launching platform and a small airfield with an extremely short runway.
The rocket with the 1450 kt Starfish device (W-49 warhead and the MK-4 RV) on it's nose was launched that evening but the THOR missile engine cut out only 59 seconds after launch.
In any event the USS Princeton would not be required in the area until the island was cleaned up and another launch pad built so she departed for San Diego with an interim stop in Hawaii.

 Hellcats of the Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hellcats of the Navy is a 1957 movie starring Ronald Reagan and wife Nancy Davis (her then professional name) — a moral World War II submarine tale — the only film in which they appear together.
Reagan plays Captain Casey Abbott, commander of the fictional submarine USS Starfish, who is ordered to undertake a dangerous mission which sees him attempting to cut off the flow of supplies between China and Japan in the heavily-mined waters off the Asiatic mainland.
When a diver, who is Abbott's competitor for the affections of Nurse Lieutenant Helen Blair (Davis) back at home, gets into a dangerous situation, Abbott must struggle to keep his personal and professional lives separate in dealing with the crisis.
