... this has been a truly detrimental trend of the 20th century - the deification of the American 'little emperors'... it should start ending.

Agreed

If it is built with federal taxpayer funds, designation ought to be limited to the names of Americans who gave their lives in the service of the nation, as determined by a bipartisan committee (likewise at the state or local level).

I agree. Naming a carrier after someone just because he votes for Navy appropriations is pathetic.

The carriers should be named for previous ships:

Enterprise, Lexington, Wasp, Hornet, Saratoga, Independence, Ranger, Intrepid...

100%. I like the fact that Destroyers and Frigates are named after people, that’s fine.
