Chief of Naval Operations speaking -- this is the 9th Nimitz Carrier placed in operation. Thanking Nancy Reagan for being there today and the charge to the crew she gave.

The Navy loves the Reagans!

Very pleased to serve under leaders like you Vice President Cheney and President Bush.

Senator Warner was a sailor in WWII. He was also a Marine in the Korean War. He is former Secretary of the Navy. Represent so many in the Congress that are committed to today's military to make it ready. (paraphrased)
