[Non-Sequitur]

But the Navy and Congress together have whored out the naming of CVNs for a while now.

Getting funding for $10 billion ships takes politics. With the laying down of the Gerald Ford the last three carriers have been Republicans. I predict that the next three will be USS John F. Kennedy(II), USS William Clinton, USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (II).

I know there's a Roosevelt destroyer. They'll rename it the USS Elenore Roosevelt.

Actully DDG-80 is named USS Roosevelt and not USS Franklin D. Roosevelt because it is named after both FDR and Eleanor.

Excuse me, I just threw up a little in my mouth.
