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.

I am 1000% in agreement with that. I despise the bastard [Bill Clinton and his wife].

They are naming an aircraft carrier the USS Bent Willie?

“All served honorably in the US Navy.”
So what?
Name destroyers after them then.

Will the USS Clinton have one of those bent decks one sees on Euro carriers?

Ships have nicknames by the sailors. They are very creative.
I think something about cigars will be at the top of the list.
