Gerald Ford?

Isn’t it about time we reuse Yorktown, Hornet, etc.

Otherwise, we’ll have a USS Clinton soon...

Can’t happen overnight. Most of the venerable carrier names from WW2 are being used on LHA/LHD’s.

Seriously though, why in the John Effin’ Kerry are we naming an aircraft carrier after Gerald Ford? Unless the person received the CMOH, or had some huge historical significance, they should NOT be naming our Navy’s ship after people.
