[Jeff Head]

Thankn you! Please pass the word. IMHO we’ll need 100,000 signatures if we hope to influence the Secretary of the Navy accordingly.

[M Kehoe]

And I'm still praying for you.

5.56mm

[Fiddlstix]

Will do

[Jeff Head]

Thank ou my friend...from the bottom of my heart and for my family as well.

I'm getting around more and more without the cane...but it is a long, slow, difficult road. But I am SO blessed to even do what I am doing that it amazes me.

God bless you and yours!

THE US NAVY'S BIG-E AIRCRAFT CARRIERS

USS ENTERPRISE CV-6 (16 Jul 1934-17 Feb 1947)

USS ENTERPRISE CVN-65 (25 Nov 1961-2013 (est))

USS ENTERPRISE CVN-79 (2018 (est)-2068 (est))

MAKE SURE THAT LAST ONE BECOMES A REALITY!

[Al B.]

Will do, Jeff. My grandfather worked on the construction of CV-4 before being shipped down to Wilmington during the war to build Liberty ships. My dad worked on CVN-65 and was on the sea trials of the ‘Big E’. I remember him telling me as much as he could about how fast she is...still the fastest carrier in the fleet.

Continuing prayers and all the best to you.

[Al B.]

Oops...CV-6.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks Al. What an honor for your Dad to have owrked on BOTH! God bless him and bless you and your family.

Those ships and those who served on them and built them gave our country SO much. We need to continue the rich heitage and tradition.

[Eastbound]

Howdy, Jeff. Great project. Proud to take part in naming the new Enterprise.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[editor-surveyor]

Done!

>> “I’m tired of naming ships (and federal buildings, and airports, and national parks) after people who live high off the hog, on the government dole with dozens of staffers and then go on to enjoy a guaranteed pension. Where’s the “sacrifice” in that so-called public service?” <<

.
Agree!

[cva66snipe]

Amen. Enterprise has a rich and amazing historical tradition. They are naming the new LHAR (Amphibious Assault Ship) the USS America. I wish a new full deck carrier had gotten that name.

A good effort was made to try and obtain naming CVN 78 AMERICA but politics namely John Warner IIRC used pull to get it named FORD. AMERICA was sank to obtain the data for the Ford. I wish the Navy would stop naming them after POTUS as well. ENTERPRISE sounds great or any other non politicans namesake on this list as well. Naming though has become far too political and veterans get little say these days.

[Jeff Head]

I know my friend. I remember well the effort for the America. but it did lead to the name being applied to the new class LHAR, America Class.

Thi will be the US Marine Air Variant assault vessel, that will have no well deck and function as an air assault vessel, or Sea Cntrol carrier.

I am hoping we are successful with this one. Enterprise needs to be a carrier, and she needs to be the next Ford class carrier.

Here's a site for the USS America, LHAR-6

She's coming laong nicely:

[Jeff Head]

Thank you for signing my friend. Please pass the word!

[cva66snipe]

Thanks for the pictures. Looking at the second picture can anyone tell me if that is a sonar dome in the bow? If so it’s ironic. AMERICA CV 66 was the only super carrier built with one. It was disconnected either in the 80 overhaul or the next one I was told by the guy who did it.
