You are correct. I noticed that too. The photo is looking from aft to forward(I think) These are hangar bays two and three. The fire doors to hangar bay one are closed.

If my memory serves me correctly on all the ships I served there was usually a "Fire Lane" down the middle of the hangar deck. A lot easier to move that way.

If I may add some clarity.

If my memory serves me correctly on all the ships I served there was usually a "Fire Lane" down the middle of the hangar deck. A lot easier to move that way.

If I may add some clarity, that is indeed from aft looking forward. The cargo area in the bottom of the picture is a supply junkyard essentially. The hangar doors are not closed. On the left, just behind the jet with the covered canopy is a "wall" with a black barrel hanging from it. That is the door well for the doors between bays 2 and 3. Just past that, there is a bubble with windows on the bulkhead, that's Conflag Station 2. Then you can see the door well for the doors between bays 1 and 2 just before the suspended drop tanks hanging from bay 1.

The official crest of the future Ford class CVN USS John F Kennedy (CVN 79) has been revealed.



Capt. Todd Marzano, commanding officer, Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and his crew officially unveiled the seal of the US Navy's second Ford-class aircraft carrier currently under construction at Newport News Shipbuilding on Nov. 6, 2019.

The seal is crafted to integrate elements that honor President John F. Kennedy, his service to the Navy, and his vision for space exploration.

It features 35 stars located around the outer ring that represent John F. Kennedy as our nation's 35th president. The 35th star is positioned after his middle initial and the two gold stars placed between CVN and the number 79 symbolize the fact that this is the second aircraft carrier bearing his name and legacy.

The Roman numeral "CIX" or 109, is a tribute to President Kennedy's heroic naval service as commander of Patrol Boat 109 in the South Pacific. Additionally, the moon backdrop represents President Kennedy's instrumental role in the nation's space program.

The official crest of the future Ford class CVN USS John F Kennedy (CVN 79) has been revealed.



Capt. Todd Marzano, commanding officer, Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and his crew officially unveiled the seal of the US Navy's second Ford-class aircraft carrier currently under construction at Newport News Shipbuilding on Nov. 6, 2019.

The seal is crafted to integrate elements that honor President John F. Kennedy, his service to the Navy, and his vision for space exploration.

It features 35 stars located around the outer ring that represent John F. Kennedy as our nation's 35th president. The 35th star is positioned after his middle initial and the two gold stars placed between CVN and the number 79 symbolize the fact that this is the second aircraft carrier bearing his name and legacy.

The Roman numeral "CIX" or 109, is a tribute to President Kennedy's heroic naval service as commander of Patrol Boat 109 in the South Pacific. Additionally, the moon backdrop represents President Kennedy's instrumental role in the nation's space program.
