It will happen or rather rather uss william clinton cvn-79. The next class carrier CVN-78 is named after our unelected POTUS Ford. That was at the insistance of Senator Sleepy John Warner. I do know one thing for certain though. In today's Global Politically Correct atmosphere in DC there will never be another ship named after our nation USS AMERICA.
Nah, CVN-80 will be the Clinton. What better way to get funding for an additional carrier than slip one in before him? Given Democratic congress and, maybe, Democratic president I'm betting CVN-79 will be named after JFK or FDR.
