First piece of steel cut for CVN-21 (CVN-78)

I really like the names of the famous legacy carriers such as York Town or Lexington. They should be used again but names such as America or United States should come first.

No, CVN 77 George H.W Bush will be the first with it.

Odd names for CVN-21...

USS Big Boy
USS OJ is Guilty
USS Adama
USS Apollo
USS Rocky IV
USS Star Trek II
USS More Powerful Than God

CVX-78 is supposed to be revolutionary in it's capabilities. I think USS America is the best name for it. Maybe they can call the CVX series the America Class. We should honor it with the name of it's home country! Let us show our National Pride!

What in the Hell? I wouldn't name an Inflatable Life Jacket, with a hole in it after him! Nothing like another Clinton to suck the moral out of our troops, HUH? How Dare you insult the brave men and women who defend America in that way!

I could see it now, the US Navy would have the Highest Desetion rate since Vietnam. Haveing an Aircraft Carrier named after you is a great Honor, one that Bill Clinton certainly does NOT Deserve! Save the Honor and respect for those who have truly EARNED it!

Ghost I’m sure the Navy and military have plenty of Target Drones named after him, the services have to take out their revenge on him somehow.

I did hear that they were going to name a submarine after Monica Lewinsky though. Beacause all a submarine does is go down and up.

Sorry I know I have psted this before but it still cracks me up

I surprised they put a Tomcat on it, too proud a fighter to serve on the USS Clinton
