USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) is in mothballs now. The Captain's stateroom was designed by Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis. It was the only carrier state room to have wood paneling. To accommodate the extra hazard, halon tanks were installed next door to flood out all the oxygen in case of fire.
In July 1986, Ronald Reagan met with Captain Jack A. Moriarty in this state room on the occasion of the rededication the Statue of Liberty. The president really liked the chocolate chip tole house cookies served at the meeting. So much so, that he had the Navy cook transferred to the White House.
