Are there any plans for replacing this grand old ship with a modern, more powerful one? Even if there are plans, I seriously doubt that Allah's "anointed one" would allow it to be built if God forbid he wins another chance to wreck our nation and destroy our military/naval forces. It's becoming even more obvious with every day that passes that he hates our military and naval forces, both as institutions and as individual men and women patriots who love our nation and are willing to put their lives in jeopardy to protect it and it's people.

I have to ask as an utterly bewildered 75 year-old American who remembers WWII and it's heroes, what on God's earth has happened to America and it's electorate that has brought us to this shameful point in our history as the greatest nation that has ever existed on earth? We are now at the place where anything goes in both the realms of legality and morality whether it is destructive to our liberties and even our very existence. Any perverted lifestyle or degree of moral depravity is now perfectly acceptable as long as it feels good and is "fair" to even the most depraved freakazoids and hate filled leftists among us.

How much longer will the God of Heaven who gave this nation to our sainted forefathers to hold in trust for us their progeny tolerate what is going on in our nation both politically and morally? Not much longer I'm afraid.

Sorry to bring my frustrations to this thread. I know I'm an old curmugeon(sp?) who is way out of today's political/social/moral mainstream, but I seem to be unable to cope with my frustration in silence.

CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford and CVN-79 John F. Kennedy (WTF???) are currently under construction with acceptance into the fleet scheduled for 2015 and 2020 respectively. CVN-77 George H. W. Bush was accepted into the fleet in 2009.

Our carrier fleet currently consists of the 10 ships of the "Nimitz" class. Gerald Ford will begin a new class.

CVN-65 Enterprise was one-of-a-kind; a spectacularly successful experiment.
