This is something that should be done. No decision has been made yet, but they are floating around a few politician names and the USS Arizona.

Let's get the Secretray of the Navy and the US Congress's attention.

I believe the Enterprise, which has such a distinguished and historical service record as a US Carrier since before World War II on two seperate carriers now, should keep that record of service as a carrier going.

While I do believe that the name Enterprise should remain in use; I wish that we would be more creative with our ship names.

I mean the Brits have always had such cool names such as: Aggressor, Antagonist, Crusader, Daunltess, Devastation, Fearless, Indefatigable, Indomitable, Intrepid, Invincible, etc.

I would like to see a ship named USS Capitalism, or ones named for US mythology like Paul Bunyan, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, John Henry, Pecos Pete etc.

It is a good time to abandon the distatsteful practice of naming capital ships after modern era poiticians. The practice started in 1945 with the naming of CVB-42 after FDR.

The tradition of naming ships after Founding Fathers or long dead presidents is a far different policy than naming them after politicians still living or recently deceased.

Enterprise is a great choice for this carrier for the many reasons already stated.

Why does everything in our world have to be politicized?

There is a long tradition (now abandoned) of giving cariers non-political names, such as notable battles and historical events or endeavors. I would like to see a return to that tradition.

FYI...please consider singing this and spreading it around to others and asking them to do the same.

[Jeff Head]

Oops...hehehe...you can sing it if you want too, but what I meant was to consider signing it. LOL!

[M Kehoe]

Good evening guy. Good to see your moniker. I hope you are doing well.

The USS Robert E. Lee, or the John Paul Jones?

Or, the USS Jefferson Davis? I know that will piss off all the Yankees (yes, I capitalized the "Y" this time).

How about the USS Mike Kehoe? I like that one.

Just discovered this thread, Jeff, and signed the petition. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. It’s great also to see you doing so well. Rest assured I’ll keep you in my prayers for your continuing recovery.

I too am tired of naming our ships after living politicians. Let’s hope we can break this pattern.
