Quite an honor for the 1st President Bush.
Given enough time, a ship will be named after Bill Clinton.
Did anyone else hear that Midway Airport in Chicago may be renamed for Obama?
To: SandRat
This ship will be commissioned before it’s finished. NG/Newport News will not deliver this ship to the Navy until the Spring. Very unusual thing to do but understandable considering the circumstances.

USS Bill Clinton
The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck form a very menacing presence. As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs! An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere. The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense, but instead in times of conflict, the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada.

With due respect to 41’s lifetime of heroic service in our military and government...wow it seems there are there a lot of government buildings, school buildings, airports, and now a carrier named after a one term president. Seems 4 times as much as Reagan but I could be wrong.

Bubba needs to chill. It’s on the drawing board... The Navy’s only garbage-powered garbage scow The William “Bubba” Clinton.
To: SandRat
He became the youngest pilot in the Navy at the time, receiving his commission and naval aviator wings before his 19th birthday.
GH still holds that record to this day...

I still think the Nav should pull an LSD out of mothballs and christen it the USS William Jefferson clinton.

I was touring a Coast Guard Cutter's open house when I saw the USS Bill J. Clinton heading down the Hudson River and snapped this picture.
