The Kennedy is 67 and was the last non nuclear carrier.  Nimitz is 68, 
Eisenhower 69, Carl Vinson, 70; Teddy Roosevelt, 71;  Lincoln 72, Washington 73, 
John Stennis 74, Harry Trumman, 75, Ronald Reagan, 76, George H W Bush 77 (being 
built).  The Kennedy  and the Kitty Hawk, 63, are the only non-nuke carriers 
left in commission.
How do I know? I work at Newport News Shipbuilding.  Where we have built them 
all since and including the Enterprise (65) which is still steaming around 
the world.  The guys that work for me test them.
