You may notice they have NOT named one after Roosevelt. Interesting omission.

CV-42, USS FDR, was launched in 45 & decommissioned in 77. But they haven’t named one since. Maybe Thats the plan - they used to name new ships after ones recently decommissioned - once the ships are retired the name will be retired as well.
