[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] <center>[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/CVN_21.jpg/775px-CVN_21.jpg[/IMG] This is a CG picture of CVN-78, the new carrier design that will replace the [i]Nimitz[/i]-classs carriers in 2015. She's going to replace [i]Enterprise[/i], which will decommission after 54 years of service. Navy veterans want her to be named [i]America[/i], as CV-66 was, & thus making it the [i]America[/i]-class. John Warner, senator from VA, has other ideas, though. Since carriers have been named for presidents & other officials since [i]Nimitz[/i], he wishess to name the ship after a president. Which one? [b]GERALD R. FORD.[/b] Now I agreed with his call to name CVN-77 [i]Lexington[/i] (it wasn't, she's USS [i]George H. W. Bush[/i], no shit), but this is absurd. And Congress has approved it. I SERIOUSLY hope BUSHIPS laughs long & hard at them. (Another senator, James Inhofe, wants CVN-78 to be named [i]Wilderness[/i], after the first battle between Grant & Lee. Can't see that, either.)</center> [/QB][/QUOTE]
