The aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk sails past the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington as Kitty Hawk returns to her homeport of San Diego one final time, Aug. 7, 2008, before being retired next year in Bremerton, Wash. The 46-year-old carrier is the oldest active-duty warship in the Navy and will be replaced this summer by George Washington as the Navy's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier. Kitty Hawk has been based in Yokosuka, Japan, for more than a decade.
