RIGHT TO FIGHT Vol 2 27 - Kitty Hawk

In today’s Right to Fight Military Moment, we look at a painful but pivotal event: the 1972 racial violence aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk while deployed in the Vietnam War era. Long-simmering tensions—fed by unequal treatment, limited opportunity, and deep frustration among enlisted sailors—erupted into shipboard fighting that injured dozens and shook Navy leadership at the highest levels. This episode focuses on what followed: a renewed push to correct systemic problems, strengthen equal opportunity, and improve fairness in daily Navy life. Under Admiral Zumwalt’s leadership, the Navy issued reform directives known as “Z-Grams,” many of which were later incorporated into the Navy’s formal directives system—helping turn hard lessons into lasting policy change.
