Can’t the Navy come up with some original carrier names?

I’m liking the USS Donald J. Trump.

I that a nice ring to it.

Enterprise is an excellent name and should be carried on in the next generation.

Keep Enterprise. We've had a carrier with that name dating from 1936-1947 and then with CVN 65 from '61-'17.

She would be the 9th ship named Enterprise.

The Navy likes tradition, usually. Look for a Lexington, Saratoga, Essex and Constellation. I don’t think Dubya is getting an aircraft carrier and Jimmy Carter already has a submarine. Maybe they can find a garbage scow or oiler to name after Mr. Obama.

President Ford was a Naval Aviator in WWII.

Show some damn respect.

Get rid of the Kennedy name and Jimmy Carter and only name ships after battles and those that were in them.

Kennedy was but he was derelict in his duty and should have been court martialed.

Do you prefer a ship named after others like Harvey Milk??
