A lot of the famous names of the old WWII carriers have been given to amphibious assault ships, while the supercarriers have been getting names of former Presidents.
It wouldn’t completely surprise me to see the DoD attempt to name CVN-79 the USS Barack H. Obama while he’s still in office.

Essex already exists. It’s the first ship specifically built for a coed crew. Saw it when I was in Japan.

I believe there has been a ship with the honor to bear the name Enterprise in the United States Navy since 1775.
