"Maybe we need to go with a sports theme or sumthin.. The Air Jordan aircraft carrier,, the Yankees Stealth Clippers"
Maybe we can sell the naming rights...

I’m glad to hear that the name Enterprise will not be missing from the U.S.Navy’s Roster of Operational CVN’s for long.
I’m not even a navy veteran and that makes me thrilled.

Carriers
used to be named after famous battles. The unseemly habit of naming them after presidents, admirals and SECNAVs started with the
USS Franklin D. Roosevelt and has continued with a few notable interruptions ever since.
It is high time for them to dust off Lexington, Saratoga and Yorktown again.

Chode...thanks for that ping!
I know it is silly. I know people might not understand. But for some reason, this is important to me.

This should also honor CV-6, the Big E, which participated in more major actions and collected more battle stars than any other ship in WWII:

Yep. Couldn’t agree more vigorously.
USS Ranger.
USS America
USS Constellation
USS Kitty Hawk
NO MORE POLITICIAN NAMES!

Whew!
After “they” named a sub for Jimmah, I am surprised they did not name this carrier for some one like John French Kerry (who served in Vietnam, by the way).

Gah. It is a struggle. I was just an average sailor, but I am so grateful I did a tour, because I learned so much in that four years. I felt like it completely changed me.
Now, when I look at what a politically correct tub of pus the US Navy has become, it is very difficult for me to reconcile.
I watched that PBS special a few years back, and I tell you, I was sincerely aghast. I just could not believe it.
But I guess I am holding out hope, but...that train has left the station. The damage liberals have done to the USN, they are trying their damndest to wreak that on the Air Force (successfully), Army, and the USMC.

I was dismayed when the Navy named CVN - 79 the “John F. Kennedy”, as he already had a carrier named after him. But this makes up for it.
