Im still waiting for the USS Reagan to hit my hobby store. Hear its gonna cost $250. Worth it.

Let me take a guess, it's the Trumpeter kit in 1/350 scale, correct? It might interest you to know that Trumpeter is a Chinese "company".

One thing to generally keep in mind about the ChiComs' carrier ambitions is that while they can probably reverse-engineer technology and build a respectable clone of Varyag (possibly with steam catapult designs either lifted from the hulk of the HMAS Melbourne or bought from the French) within the next 10 years or so, it's going to take them decades to figure out how to conduct carrier ops effectively. The Russians have pretty much proven themselves to be utterly clueless with Kuznetsov (at least if that "power-projection" Med cruise she did a few years ago is any indication).

Finally, I want a shot at the "Golden Citizen" award as well ... here's the complete list of US CVNs, in chronological order with their hull numbers:

Kitty Hawk (CV-63, Kitty Hawk Class)
Enterprise (CVN-65, Enterprise Class)
John F. Kennedy (CV-67, JFK Class/Improved Kitty Hawk)
Nimitz (CVN-68, Nimitz Class)
Eisenhower (CVN-69, Nimitz Class, just back from RCOH)
Vinson (CVN-70, Nimitz Class, going into RCOH)
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71, Roosevelt/Improved Nimitz Class)
Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72, Roosevelt/Improved Nimitz Class)
George Washington (CVN-73, Roosevelt/Improved Nimitz Class)
John Stennis (CVN-74, Stennis/Improved Nimitz Class)
Truman (CVN-75, Stennis/Improved Nimitz Class)
Reagan (CVN-76, Reagan/Improved Nimitz Class)

George HW Bush (to be CVN-77, Bush/Improved Nimitz Class)

(the Nimitz class is technically five different sub-classes, given the substantial design modifications made over the classes 30+ year production run. The later ships gross out at over 100,000 tonnes displacement, some 10,000 tonnes greater than the initial members of the "class". This is similar to how America was, and Kennedy is, "cousins" of the Kitty Hawk class).
