The current USS Enterprise, CVN-65 will be decommissioned when CVN-78, the USS Gerald R. Ford is commissioned into the fleet. This will leave the high seas without a US aircraft carrier named Enterprise. The Big-E has been plowing the waves of the high seas for the last fifty and more years in defense of US National interests, and doing so successfully. In World War II, the USS Enterprise, a Yorktown Class aircraft carrier, CV-6, was the most highly decorated vessel of the war, and the most highly decorated combat vessel in US Navy history. It is critical that this proud tradition of service, honor and distinction continue. Please click the first picture above and sign your name to the petition requesting this...and email, forward, blog, twitter, facebook, and share it with our friends and ask them to do the same. We need hundreds of thousands of signatures to make this a reality. CLICK HERE for the Petition to name the next Ford Class nuclear aircraft carrier USS Enterprise The US Naval Institute, the Tailhook Association, and US Navy veterans had an initial petition HERE last year. but it only gained a few thousand signatures and has since been discontinued. It deserves better and needs more exposure. Let's support our veterans and rise up as citizens and add tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands more so our elected and appointed officilas will respond in the affirmative. |
Here we go!!
I am sending the link to local talk radio and Lars Larson.
Thanks for the info. I can say from experience being in #1 pumproom in the bow in heavy seas is no fun whatsoever. One time I got pitched off the ladder coming up out of #2 pumproom trunk due to a sudden list. Netting in trunks is a good thing LOL.
