The Navy delays USS Nimitz's decommissioning to March 2027 to maintain carrier capacity until the new John F. Kennedy joins the fleet.
The U.S. Navy has delayed the decommissioning of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz from May 2026 to at least March 2027 to maintain carrier strike group capacity while awaiting the John F. Kennedy, the next Ford-class carrier.
The Nimitz, the Navy’s oldest active carrier, recently completed a nine-month deployment supporting operations across multiple regions, flying 8,500 sorties.
It will shift homeport to Norfolk, Virginia, before inactivation and reactor defueling.
The extension bridges the gap between aging carriers and new ships, ensuring the fleet maintains 11 carriers.
The Nimitz may support limited training missions but is unlikely to deploy operationally again.
