    Hello, 1st post, here we go:

    My father-in-law served on the Kearsarge 1965-1968. He told me that John Wayne filmed on his boat at sometime when he was there. What movie was it that was filmed on the carrier? Thanks !!

    I don’t remember any movies from that time period Duke was on an aircraft carrier. I think most likely it during a tour to Vietnam he may have visited the carrier. It could possibly have been to document the the trip or even for background scenes for The Green Berets though I don’t believe any were in that film.
