The Kilroy Class Aircraft Carrier is a new generation of supercarrier; the largest ever built. It is also the cleanest; as all 4 planned vessels will be running off bio-fuels. Kilroy himself proposed the construction of 4 Kilroy class boats to fit the Navy's requirements. When the Nimitz-Class nuclear-fusion powered aircraft carriers entered service; there were some saftey risks involved with its operation. Nuclear fusion was new; and it had not properly been tested yet; as it was rushed into service.

Construction

The keel of the USS Kilroy laid down in the Mount Kilroy Naval Shipyard; circa 1975.

Construction of the Kilroy-Class carriers started in 1975; a few days before the USS Nimitz was to be commissioned. By 1977; the ship was completed and launched; with Kilroy at the helm. By 1978; the ship was ready for commissioning. Kilroy himself christined the ship on March 15 1978; and gave command of the ship to his second-eldest brother: Herman S. Kilroy. On her shakedown cruise prior to commissioning; The Kilroy underwent aircraft take-off and landing trials; as pilots needed to practice landing on the massive ship. The ship also underwent fire-trials; training her crew to use the main guns and AA artillery.

Commissioning of the Kilroy+ Service History

On March 15 1978; the USS Kilroy was commissioned at the Mount Kilroy Naval Base by Kilroy and his brother; Herman. She was then deployed to the Trans-Antlantic Fleet on her first sortie. As the years and wars went by; the Kilroy received major upgrades and conversions; making her look like a whole different vessel each time.
