Of all the names out there for a CVN, those are certainly two of them.

It'll be a ship full of master sea lawyers...

CDO: "Shipmate, is that a hooker with a bag of cocaine you just sneaked aboard?!?!"

Seaman Timmy: "That depends on what your definition of is is, Sir."

My first submissions for their official call signs:
BIG MAC (82)
DECIDER (83)

Its better when ships are named after dead people…

The W’s ball cap should have “now watch this drive” on it

Beers on me to the first BM who paints MISSION ACCOMPLISHED on CVN-83's tower.

I wonder how long before -47 poops on the CVN-82 name? I’d prefer USS Essex and USS Saratoga.

The USS Clinton and future USS Trump will be exempt from entering any declared combat zone due to student deferments and/or doctor notes. 😄

Yuck.

Am I the only one who thinks naming our biggest ships after living presidents is a bad idea?

I like how the Brits name their ships; Indomitable, Dauntless, Avenger etc. Or we could name them after states, since our battleships are all decommissioned. Or Greek gods.

Langley
Lexington
Saratoga
Ranger
Yorktown

And bring back Enterprise!!!
A fighting ship since the 12-gun Continental Navy Sloop Enterprise of 1775.

Not the best choices that could have been made. Regardless of anyone's politics, both men come with some significant baggage attached to their presidencies. I think what bothers me the most is that we'll have two carriers named George Bush. That's fucking dumb.
