The future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) was not laid down in July 2015. Official shipbuilder and U.S. government sources place the keel-laying on August 22, 2015.
Full reasoning
This date appears to refer to the keel-laying / formal start-of-construction milestone for USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79). That milestone did not occur in July 2015.
- Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding — the shipbuilder — states in its August 22, 2015 release that it "today celebrated the keel laying" of John F. Kennedy (CVN 79).
- A U.S. Department of Defense release for the same event says the keel-laying ceremony for CVN-79 was scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2015.
So the article's July 2015 date is incorrect for this milestone; the supported date is August 22, 2015.

This service-retirement date is off. March 23, 2007 was the decommissioning ceremony, but official Navy records list USS John F. Kennedy as removed from service on August 1, 2007.
Full reasoning
The article places 23 March 2007 in the infobox field for "Retirada del servei" (removed from service / taken out of service). Official Navy records do not use that as the ship's actual removal-from-service date.
What the evidence shows:
- A 2025 official U.S. Navy/NAVSEA news release says CV-67 was "removed from service on August 1, 2007" after more than 39 years.
- The USS John F. Kennedy Aircraft Carrier Project history page explains the distinction directly: the ship's decommissioning ceremony was held on March 23, 2007, but the official decommissioning date was August 1, 2007.
- NAVSEA's historical evaluation for the ship also lists Inactivated 1 August 2007 / Decommissioned 1 August 2007, and explicitly marks a brochure's "Decommissioned March 23, 2007" wording as [sic].
So if the field is meant to show when the ship was retired/removed from service, 23 March 2007 is incorrect; that was the ceremony date, while the official service-end date was 1 August 2007.
