#2 I do NOT approve of naming warships after still-living ex-Presidents. I didn't like it when they commissioned the Reagan and I don't like it now. Tell them brass-hat suck-ups in the Pentagon to knock it off.

#3 I do NOT approve of naming warships after still-living ex-Presidents.

Easy, shoot the ex-president the minute before the warship is christened.

#5 Maybe Clinton will still be around to visit the honey barge that they'll eventually name after him...

Does the navy commission floating whorehouses?

#6 Mojo, as much as I respect President GHW Bush, I agree with you. Ships, buildings, highways, etc should not be named after living people. Too much chance for underhanded dealings.
Note: I do not think that there was anything underhanded in naming the USS Bush. However, just about every highway, public building, and federally funded outhouse in West Virginia is named after Robert Byrd. And don't get me started on the Charlie Rangel school of whatever in New York.

#8 Personally, I like the WWII-era names for carriers and wish those would be used. I know a few of the amphib assault ships are using those names now, but Ranger, Wasp, Hornet, Essex, Saratoga, Yorktown, etc., are the kinds of names that should forever be carriers.
