I understand why they will name her the Ford. Its my opinion it is more appropriate to name such powerful symbols of American power after momentous events, or in rare cases transformative figures, in US history.

Otherwise you can expect something equivelent to a USS Clinton, or USS Cesar Chavez, or USS Ted Kennedy one day.

I do agree with your concerns about US carriers being named after America-haters.

I tend to think that as a coping mechanism, if there ever were a carrier named after impeached and disbarred Clinton, the crew would nickname it "el Rushbo" or somesuch.
