I understand that George H. W. Bush and Gerald Ford (and Jimmy Carter, yes) served in the navy. But it strikes me as wrong to name every new carrier after a recent politician, which seems to be the rule now. There are plenty of good, unused traditional carrier names available. Independence, Intrepid, Ranger, Saratoga, Yorktown, America and sooner or later, Enterprise. These aren´t names for an LCS.

it might be a good time to bring back the Enterprise name.

Fix Or Repair Daily?

Maybe it’s time to bring back the Corvette class of ships.

Well, the USS Government Motors doesn’t exactly “sing” either. And it could only float in the “RED SEA”.

Think of the possibilities of the “USS Ransom E. Olds”.

Gerald Ford does not merit an aircraft carrier.

Murdoc doesn’t really believe that ‘Ford’ is a good choice for the name of an aircraft carrier, particularly a lead ship.

It’s perfect. If only because the destroyers in a USS Ford task force will be … Ford Escorts.
