Yokosuka, Japan (June 10, 2004) - Graduating Seniors from Fleet Activities Yokosuka Kinnick High School (KHS) are transported to the ship's flight deck aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) on one of the aircraft elevators, where they are greeted by more than 1,000 family members and friends for graduation ceremonies. Ninty-six KHS Seniors received their diplomas during the ceremony, a first aboard an aircraft carrier. The historic event aboard America's oldest active warship was organized by the senior class in hopes of strengthening ties between KHS, Kitty Hawk and all of Fleet Activities Yokosuka. Kitty Hawk demonstrates power projection and sea control as the world's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier, operating from Yokosuka, Japan.
