CVN-77 will provide a transition from the Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier to the next-generation CV(X). As such, CVN-77 is a candidate for development, evaluation, and incorporation of a range of advanced technologies and acquisition reform initiatives which, not only could result in lower life cycle costs, but could also set the standard by which further improvements in the application of advanced technologies and acquisition initiatives to the design and construction of the CV(X) will be measured. Technology innovations fielded in CVN 77, which are targeted to achieve a 15% reduction in Operation and Support Costs, will also be backfit as feasible in the other nine ships of the NIMITZ Class through the Carrier Improvement Plan, and forward fit to achieve cost savings and risk reduction in the next class, CVX. The FY 1999 budget request included $38 million in RDT&E funding to support incorporation of critical transition technologies in CVN 77.

I was thinking a US Coast Guard dinghy of some sort would be more appropriate.

I was thinking of a rubber raft.

Ahem. A USCG dinghy has a noble mission of saving lives and enforcing law. Neither of those missions is consonant with the name "Clinton."

"Dinghy", brother, think "dinghy"...

So are there any drawings of what the CVX is supposed to look like? And please, if there is a God, don't tell me they're going to name it after X42!
