That date should have read 5 May 2003. I typed wrong date on the fact page. Robert Byrd is demonizing Bush for visiting the ship..... Looks like Bush was not the first president do visit a naval ship........

Just to point something out to everyone absolutely every President since Theodore Rosevelt has visited a US navy ship.

William J. Clinton (1992-2001) Carrier Carl Vinson (1993; 1995) Carrier George Washington (1994) Carrier Independence (1996) Carrier Harry S. Truman (1998) Didn't Clinton's entourage make off with towels and other Navy property during one of his visits?
As I recall the White House was made to return and/or pay for the missing items...

Big hiatus in presidential visits to ships of war between Taft assuming the presidency in 1909 and Coolidge's last year in office, 1928, with only the one exception of Taft visiting one battleship in 1912. Wilson didn't even visit a warship in wartime. What was the reason for that? Were Teddy Roosevelt's many visits considered unpresidential?
