The USS Reagan will be heading to berth in San Diego (Coronado). One more carrier in this class to be built -- USS George Herbert Walker Bush.

Fastest ship in the Fleet! Fifty year life to this carrier! Support/supply ships cannot move as fast! Connie commisioned in 1961 burns fuel and they have to stop to refuel. This is why it was decommissioned early.

I hope that naming ships is not automatic, but an honor bestowed upon worthy Americans. I can't imagine any sailor wanting to serve on any ship named for Hillary's HINO (husband in name only).

On the other hand, the U.S.S. Dubya has a certain ring to it!

PhiKapMom, who chooses the names for the vessels? Please tell me that Clinton can't get his name on one.
