people would be amazed at how fast one of these ships can move when it wants to...I've heard varying speeds. No civilian seems to know how fast the Ronald Reagan is. Care to share?

As a former Carrier sailor I’d say 40+ knots with all the reactors going and no flight ops (steam is used for both propulsion and the catapults.)

I would call it “thirtymumble knots”. The true top end of the CVN’s, much like the top end of our SSN’s, remains classified. Although that does not mean that the Dems have not sold that info, like a lot of other info, to our enemies.

Probably never. GWB will get that moniker. Wonder what nickname the Clinton will get. Good Ship Lollypop?

Am I the only one who thinks that we shouldn’t be naming ships after living people?
A ship name or stamp - you should be dead before you get one.

I thought that was going to be the USS Obama..That'll be CVN-80 or 81. After three straight Republican carriers I'm predicting that CVN-79 will be the Franklin D. Roosevelt II or the John F. Kennedy II. Then will be the William Clinton and Obama will come after that.

The true top end of the CVN’s, much like the top end of our SSN’s, remains classified. It's not that classified. They've been building carriers for almost a hundred years and 32 to 34 knots is considered fast. A friend of mine was on the JFK when she did a post overhaul high-speed run and she did 33.5 knots. That's pretty good for 80,000 plus tons.
To: null and void
Let me count the reasons:
1) Give away the Panama Canal
2) Let hostages languish for 444 days.
3) Fill the Pentagon with PC types and doves
4) Kiss up to Arafat (most frequent foreign visitor to the White House ‘77-’80.)
Overall, a wimp.
