Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world.

Author Mike Fabey spent quality time with some of the people building the world’s largest warship, the aircraft carrier JOHN F. KENNEDY CVN79, and talks about what it takes to do the job.
