USS Kearsarge - Palma - 2005

[mikey northampton]

On a family holiday I saw the USS Kearsarge in the Port of Palma de Mallorca on 07/04/2005.

Can anyone provide a list of aircraft on deck or any tie ups between codes and serials?

Thanks Paul,

This is really helpful.

I am a bit puzzled by the UH-1N entry as 164054 is an F-18 but the rest all tie in with some old (poor quality) photo's that I have.

I appreciate your help with this.

Regards,

Mike

Mike, apologies a typo with the UH-1N serial, it should be 160454.
