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.

Well of course there will. After naming carriers after Bush, senior and Gerald Ford do you think the Dems aren't going to demand equal time? A CVN has become the going away present for mediocre presidents.
