New Aircraft Carrier To Be Named After Bill Clinton
the war zone ^ | 1/14/2025 | Howard Altman

Posted on 01/15/2025 12:15:58 AM PST by Chode

n his last week in office, President Joe Biden on Monday named the Navy’s next unnamed future Ford-class aircraft carriers President William J. Clinton. The super carrier that will follow it will be named after George W. Bush. However, it will be years, even under the current plans, before either ship is delivered to the Navy.

If all goes according to the Biden administration’s wishes, the USS William J. Clinton (CVN-82) and USS George W. Bush (CVN-83) will join the USS Gerald R. Ford and future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), the USS Enterprise (CVN-80), and USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) as part of the Navy’s newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier class. There are 11 aircraft carriers in the current fleet, 10 of them are earlier Nimitz class ships.

Instead of being a flattop, the boat will be a carrot top.

I know, it’s a ship, not a boat…

…unless you’re trying to land on the damn thing.
