IIRC, I believe the Kitty Hawk is the oldest in the fleet now...and now the

According to the CV-64 news, Constellation is "one of only three remaining
conventionally powered aircraft carriers in its arsenal." And, since the
Constellation won't actually be decommissioned for a few more weeks, there
are still three in the fleet.

The Constellation, the Kitty Hawk, and the John F. Kennedy are the three remaining
CV's.
