Ships should never be named after politicians, living or dead. There are plenty of naval heroes names available.Who makes the rule? Even LPD-26 is now named after John Murtha despite oppositions. What do you suggest to name CVN-77 instead?

Lots of great carrier names with tons of history available. Saratoga, Ranger, Midway, Lexington, Hornet, Intrepid.

If I'll ask what ship, you'll have to say the hull number as well. If it's USS George H.W. Bush(!) surely they'll it's the newest American mighty aircraft carrier afloat out there, plain and simple.

Well we managed to go through fifty years of having carriers in the USN while only naming two of them for politicians (FDR and JFK). Now every CV in the last thirty years has been named for a politician.
We're going to have to agree to disagree. I hate naming our ships for politicians, whether it's Reagan or it's Carter.

Whether you like it or not, they stopped re-using ships’ namesake.
