>>I've always wondered what the USS clinton would look like

I'd hate to be on one of the other ships in the battlegroup. All of (the) Clinton's escorts would always be going down on it.

Actually it was named the Graf Zeppelin. The Graf Spee was a battlecruiser that was scuttled at the Battle of the River Plate.
