Yahoo Finance in typo tweet: 'Trump wants a much n----r navy'

A social media administrator at Yahoo Finance needs a copy editor — badly.

The news site's Twitter account shared an inconspicuous news story Thursday evening about President-elect Donald Trump wanting to expand the U.S. navy — but a misplaced "n" in the tweet's caption turned the whole thing on its head in a disastrous manner.

Sounds way more like 0bama’d say that.

"Well .. actually, all some Aircraft Carriers are named after former Presidents .. so the USS Trump will certainly be a great name for a commanding ship like a carrier."

Careful about that word "all", FRiend. ;-)

If you're as interested as I am in this, here's where you can see all large US aircraft carriers lined up in sequential order, from oldest to newest -- from CV-1 Langley through CVN-80 Enterprise.

CV-1 Langley is named after "Samuel Pierpont Langley (August 22, 1834 – February 27, 1906)... an American astronomer, physicist, inventor of the bolometer and pioneer of aviation".

Samuel Langley, circa 1900, CV-1 Langley, 1927:

CVN-80 Enterprise is the ninth US Navy ship of that name, all of which date back to Gene Roddenberry's star-ship, James T. Kirk commanding. ;-)

CV-45 USS Roosevelt was the first carrier named after a president:

CV-65 USS Kennedy was the second:

From Nimitz (CVN-69) through Enterprise (CVN-80) only Vincen (CVN-70) & Stennis (CVN-74) and are not named after US Presidents.

Bottom line: 11 large carriers were named for US Presidents, 69 were not.
WWII PT boat commander, John F. Kennedy is the only president to have two carriers with his name.

USS Enterprise (CVN 65)

[dp0622]

Wow. That’s different :)

[Palio di Siena]

Obviously for the Black Sea fleet.

[Bullish]

I’m never typing ‘bigger’ again after this.

Yes, there is a USS Jimma Carta SSN-23:

As for USS Clinton or Obama... well, here's what's proposed so far:
USS Clinton & USS Obama:

sorry for the duplicate post!

They will bring back the name ENTERPRISE on the 3rd FORD Class Carrier.

“...so the USS Trump will certainly be a great name for a commanding ship like a carrier.”

If the Thump’n Trump comes on line, she will join company with The Big Stick, CVN-71 - USS Theodore Roosevelt.

[beaware]

what kind of naming scheme is used for the clittoral ships?

[Tai_Chung]

The ship would need to lead from behind, so the crew would need to be LGBT.

The ship would need to be powered by solar and/or wind energy.

The ship would be a gun-free zone, but it would have community organizers.

The ship would need to have special accommodations for celebrities and refugees.

There would need to be special markings that will always point toward Mecca.

There needs to be a special room that holds $400 million in cash in case they are ever deployed to a hostile area for a rescue mission.

How much better my childhood, had the internet existed!

I'm not sure about that. You wouldn't have been able to impress your friends with a trip to Dad's law library to show your ability to look stuff up. Right?

[broken_arrow1]

Don’t forget the first boat named after a vice-president - “dingy”

[jch10]

So, there will be one named after BHO? NO!!

[skepsel]

Like the Vinson and the Stennis?

[Salamander]

Yes, I know.

Liberal media just can’t seem to help itself.
