I wish they’d go back to the old naming system of American battles. I can understand naming a carrier after FDR or Reagan but I have a problem with naming one USS Ford.
Exactly. Who’d want to serve on the USS Clinton?
How long until some sub driver refers to it as: "Found On Reef Dead"...
Well, it could be worse, they could name it the USS William J. Clinton.
That’d be a sight at fleet week and formal events. The entire crew will stand in a giant ring around the deck with their pants around their ankles.
Respectfully, I do not agree.
Gerald Ford was a Naval officer who served aboard a carrier during WWII. It is highly appropriate that Pres. Ford is honored with a carrier class.
MY worry is if they ever want to name a carrier after impeached and disbarred former president Rodham-Clinton.
(Where would they find a crew?)
.
Exactly.
We have enough battles and genuine American heroes to name things after instead of Presidents - especially losers.
You may notice they have NOT named one after Roosevelt. Interesting omission.
