I don't agree with naming ships after living Presidents. CIA Headquarters is also named after Bush 41.
Probably because Bush 41 served as Director of the CIA many moons ago.
If they were going to name CIA HQ at Langley after anybody, they ought to name it after the Reagan Administration's William Casey, the best damn director in history if you ask me.

Tenet presideed over the renaming in 1999 because it was in the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 1999. It was under a Rep Congress. I think it played a role in keeping him around when Bush 43 took over.

I agree that Casey would have been a better choice.
