It will happen or rather rather uss william clinton cvn-79.

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.

I'm afraid there will be a CVN Clinton as you say. The origional CV FDR went OOC in 1975 I think thereabouts. We got some parts off her. And JFK is gone now also. I think we need to go back to tradition in naming.
