With all due respect, eff the LANGLEY and LEXINGTON. The LANGLEY was a lashed-up jeep carrier and the LEXINGTON -- while a fine ship with a valiant crew in World War Two -- is named after an ARMY battle. No, there can be only one name for the CVN-21... and that name is ENTERPRISE.

The problem is that the first CVN21, CVN-78, will come out before the exiting Enterprise is decommissioned. They will not have two carriers called the Enterprise at the same time. I believe the second ship will be the Enterprise and should be. Make the first the Halsy...or better yet, name it the Shanksville!

Ok I'll buy the Lexington argument; but wasn't Langley our the first Carrier?
