The slick willie.

The ships moto will be “I did not have sex with that woman.”

[Texas Fossil]

That was my first thought after reading the title.

BARF!

[faithhopecharity]

Why name it after Bill? His wife’s the combative one

[Libloather]

[rdcbn1]

Well, they call the USS Theodore Roosevelt “ The Big Stick”

Probably appropriate to call the USS William Clinton “The Big Prick”

25 years from now the next class of carriers will be the Trump class. They will be twice the size of the previous class and painted gold.

I guess it will hoist a stained blue dress as it’s flag?

[dp0622]

It will be the first female assault ship.

[Does so]

With so many US Navy “rammings” recently, there may be a movement to stop referring to ships as “she”.

[ByteMercenary]

... not CVN-69 ??

[sit-rep]

everyone gets a trophy...

[Jim Noble]

This was inevitable as soon as the practice of naming capital ships after dead politicians was established in the 1970s.

[hillarys cankles]

In today’s climate, carriers are a huge waste of money. Nothing but a huge sitting duck.

[Bernard]

The home port will be Epstein’s Island.

[Chode]

lololol, good stuff

thx

[tired&retired]

Gives new meaning to “the head” on the ship.

Honestly....cancel it. I think aircraft carriers are the battleships of the 21st century - outdated, highly vulnerable but hugely expensive, prestige items that are not what you need to actually win wars. The most practical and effective warships today - at least against a major power - are submarines.

IF we are going to go this route ie surface ships, then much smaller and cheaper mother ships for drone swarms is IMO a much more effective not to mention cost effective way to go. It would also risk far fewer personnel.
