I believe the carrier they just towed out recently was the JFK. I wanted to go down and get pics of it before it was taken away but I waited to long.
On a hijack sidenote, my grandfather, a Kansas native, was stationed at the Philly naval yard before the start of WWII. My grandmother lived up in North Philly(in a nice Irish neighborhood which has since devolved into a 3rd world war zone) and would walk to work down in the yard every day. They met, and my grandfather would walk her home the 50+ blocks or so daily. The rest is history.
For all its faults, it's still my favorite city.
