The USS America was a great carrier. Freeper cva66snipe served aboard her. A bunch of folks (myself included) petitioned to have one of the Ford class crriers named for the America. They decided to name this vessel for her instead.

And that's okay. She will fulfill carrier duties in her sea control role, and when she is, shel'll have a bunch of F-35Bs aboarrd.

I'd love to see them build an AEW variant of the V-22, an EV-22 AEW, and an ASW vaiant of the V-22, the SV-22, specifcally for these vessels (they would also be purchased by a lot of our allies).
