"The USS Henry M. Jackson, SSBN-730, ex-USS Rhode Island." Well, looks like we have Scoop and Carter out of the way. Guess we'll have to name it the USS George W Bush, huh?

I am sorely disappointed that the Navy didn't try to regain their institutional ethos regarding carrier names--famous ships and battles. We need names like Saratoga, Lexington, Ranger, and Hornet to remind our sailors of where the Navy comes from, and what is expected of them.
