Was the term “Nimitz Class” formed after the Admiral was dead?

The X-craft has been cancelled? I watched an interesting show on the military channel about it a while ago.

I'm not sure. Nimitz died in early 1966 and CVN-68's keel was laid in 1968.

My dad lost part of a finger in a stupid accident while the ship was being built. He always said it helped his golf game...cured his hook. LOL.

I didn’t mean “X-Craft”
I meant CVN-X.....

Monday morning brain drain.
