I have a petition on my bottom web page to have CVN-79(the new Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier) to be the ninth ship to bear the the name Enterprise. I really encorage people who were veterans of the Enterprise,fans of the aircraft carrier or Star Trek to sign the petition.
I believe there is a group out there who want to call it “USS America” ever since the last one was sent down in Glory somewhere off the Eastern Seaboard...
Lots of us old carrier sailors are still upset about that one! Keep in mind that you should NEVER mention USS America and Hanoi Jane at the same time...too many of us vets are getting too old to take much more of this crap, and our tickers might not handle the strain...
