The ''' ''Kitty Hawk''-class''' [[supercarrier]]s of the [[United States Navy]] were an incremental improvement on the {{sclass|Forrestal|aircraft carrier|0}} vessels. Three were built, all in the 1960s, {{USS|Kitty Hawk|CV-63|3}} (1961–2009), {{USS|Constellation|CV-64|3}} (1961–2003), and {{USS|America|CV-66|3}} (1965–1996), as well as the variant {{USS|John F. Kennedy|CV-67|3}} (1967–2007). All are now decommissioned.
