He still wasn't worth a carrier.
Apparently, the DOD disagrees. ;o)
I tend to agree. Most of the more recent carriers have inappropriate names, even the Ronald Reagan. They should be named after historically important Navy Ships, including but not limited to carriers, like "Enterprise", "Hornet" , "Lexington", and "Independence". although failing that, former Presidents isn't too bad. But not CongressCritters. Although I wish we had enough to name them after states, without "shorting"
