Not to mention the "head" has a whole different meaning in the Clinton lexicon.

[Cobra64]

Classic. Thank you.

Reminds me of the old days.

As an aside, I picked up my first 100 or so landings in
Valley Forge (CV-45), many decades ago. And, the last of the "straight deckers" was Lake Champlain (CVA/CVS-15).

Those were the days --dangerous as can be, but really great fun! The bird farms now are truly impressive...but landing on them is a piece of cake.

I agree with the poster about revisiting battles, etc. for names. USS Bent One (CBO-1) just rings a bit hollow. *S*

Auxiliary recoil engine

I bet it's faster than the stern drive...but the wake is pretty hazardous!

[Cobra64]

The most it would have on it would be a spitwad shooter.

You are begging for some ... responses that I canot not respond to. One is sp!t... the other is w@d.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Please read more than the headline?

You look silly when you post before reading the article.

[Walkingfeather]

I would imagine he would have serveral Chinese Navy ships named after him.

[Brimack34]

Not much room for the Hookers!

[BIGLOOK]

The Navy had ships named Clinton before. But I think all can rest assured the Navy will never name one for Bill Clinton.

[Cobra64]

Some of us have a sense of humor. Chill.

On your behalf, I should have added the obligatory /sarcasm

*rolling eyes and shaking head*

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Sure...........

[Defiant]

LOL. Shouldn't they name a Missile Launcher after Clinton? Or perhaps an R&R ship?

[quietolong]

An R&R ship. Man I don't think I would want to pull R&R on that.

[LegendHasIt]

Oh, Man, I'm SO glad this is a joke. When I read the front page excerpt, I thought I was going to have to superglue my skull back together.

[Carbonsteel]

"You know this is going to happen."

If Carter can get a ship named after him.........

[timestax]

bttt

[buccaneer81]

Seriously, when the time comes, we cannot let the US Navy or America be disgraced by a nuclear aircraft carrier with the Sinkmaster's name on it. Period. Just like Jimmah Carter, he will have to be "remembered" in a way without sullying a noble symbol of America like a carrier.

I don't think we have to worry. There is no USS Richard Nixon, nor is there a USS Lyndon Johnson. Clinton is destined to join those two.

Unfortunately, USS Jimmy Carter (Seawolf submarine) is an exception to that rule.

[Malacoda]

Damn. I was hoping it was a honeywagon.
