USS Kitty Hawk in Brisbane Sony DCR-SR82 The supercarrier, USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), formerly CVA-63, is the second naval ship named after Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the site of the Wright brothers’ first flight. With the decommissioning of USS Constellation (CV-64) in 2003, the Kitty Hawk became the first and last ship of her class. Kitty Hawk was laid down by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, Camden, New Jersey, 27 December 1956; and launched 21 May 1960, sponsored by Mr. Neil H. McElroy; and commissioned 21 April 1961 at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Captain William F. Bringle in command. With the decommissioning of USS Independence (CV-62) on 30 September 1998 Kitty Hawk became the ship with the second longest active status in the Navy. (The USS Constitution sailing ship in Boston Harbor is 208 years old and is still retained on active Navy status.) In 2008 Kitty Hawk will be replaced as the forward-deployed carrier in Yokosuka, Japan by the USS George Washington (CVN-73).

Well, this is it for me. I’d been considering making a project like this for some time until I came across a couple of songs that pretty much begged me to add them to something like this (especifically, “Tubthumping” for Jack and “Changes” for the regeneration). I’m just sad that, try as I might, I couldn’t make this under 7 minutes long, which for me is way too much for a vid. But I just didn’t want to cut anything!!!! I’m pretty sure this will come back to haunt me, but so far I’m happy with my decision. I’ve been trying to find a way to honor Ten and his years after “The End of Time”, and this felt like a nice way of doing it. Hopefully, I’ve made him justice. If any of you saw my preview, then you’ll notice I kept Nine. He had such favorable reactions (MUCH love for everyone who commented!
