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.

That is the Eisenhower. I'm just surprised that someone didn't think of numbering Enterprise as CVN 65A.

After Carl Vinson, John Stennis, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, and Gerald R. Ford, JUST WHAT DID PEOPLE THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?

Compare and Contrast with Saratoga, Valley Forge, Midway, Tarawa, Independence, Coral Sea, or even Kitty Hawk.

Dunking on the opposition by recycling politicians has doomed the fleet to generations of stupid and divisive political warfare over what should be symbols of national unity and purpose.

USS William J Clinton isn’t even that bad. The people who thought it was a good idea to use dead politicans for ships have made the USS Diane Feinstein, USS Nancy Pelosi, and USS Barack Obama inevitable.

I think choosing a five star as a namesake is borderline, but probably OK.

Washington and Lincoln? I suppose. TR? I don’t know. JFK? childish hero worship. FDR and Truman? Probably not OK. If you have to have Presidents, I’d require dead a century, and start with Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, and Jackson

Will it have a large cigar shaped object up it’s exhaust pipe??? It would be more appropriate to name a garbage scow after this creep.

Deep State loves monuments to itself.

In addition to stoking its ego, they also make great propaganda tools.

I’m thinking the Sinkmeister might not be a good name for a boat.

Kennedy, Bush I, Ford, Miller all served honorably in the USN. All Clinton ever served was his sybaritic impulses.

What the heck do you have against Doris Miller, who was awarded the Navy Cross and was KIA when his ship sunk?

The man was a hero, who aided his dying captain and manned a machine gun during Pearl Harbor.

Doris Miller was killed in the War. Biden named the Carrier after Bill Clinton as a FY to decent Americans. But I did not vote for the lying bastard. Nor do I support him now, in the past, nor in the future.

Late to the party again (2:45am?) but in honor of just one of his sub-human accomplishments, I Christen his ship the ‘USS Hairy Humidor’

...ok Pookey!

@Mewzilla was replying to my Doris Miller post, not my Presidents post.

Slick Willy is not worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Doris Miller...

Ship motto will be borrowed from Popeye the Sailorman - “Well Blow Me Down!”.
