I thought many Freepers would be insterested in this US Navy news, and particularly, in this latest US aircraft carrier.

Great Ship. Still a shame to this day, that Bush 41 did not get a second term IMO.

Le Corbusier counted ship building as architecture just as much as buildings sitting on dry ground. He prized functionality, and this is total functionality.

Thanks, Jeff! I hope they show this on Fox. I love the ceremonies surrounding the christening of a ship, and this one has sentimental value for many of us.

You are welcome. It will be an awesome ship and awesome Carrier battle group when formed. I absolutely love the following poster from that Grumman site:

AWESOME!
I can still remember the ceremony when the USS Ronald Reagan was brought to life and watching all those sailors go running onto the USS Reagan to take their positions.

"....So Ole Slick doesn't get a Nimitz named for him?...."
After Mr. Peanut got a Seawolf sub named after him, I realized, sadly, that Clinton will probably get some sort of namesake. I hope it's a garbage barge.
