CV6 fought in every major Pacific battle except Coral Sea and won 20 battle stars. Almost every ship to bear her name has become a legend.

I wish the would revert to previous carrier names like Wasp, Saratoga, Hornet, Constellation, Intrepid, Ranger and Yorktown.

Much of those ship names have been used on amphibious warfare ships of the Tarawa, Wasp, and America class.

CVN's are more expensive so they name them after people that vote appropriations...

I like that....resurrect some of the historical ships!

Yes.

USS Yorktown. I vote for that name.
