Fuck you, you filthy fucking crip. At least he's a dead president, which beats the last two carrier names--only one of which actually served in the fucking Navy. So go fuck yourself.

:lol: I guess you haven't been paying attention; the USN hasn't been naming carriers for previous carriers, battles, or admirals for quite some time.
Indeed. These days, the new ones are all presidents, all the time. No more Carl Vinsons, no more Nimitzs. The only chance for a break is after Enterprise is retired, they might replace it with another Enterprise at some point.
Sorry Tim all CVs are named after Presidents. Which is good because we hardly ever name anything after Presidents in this country.

I suggest every time the Republicans get to name something after Regan democrats get to name something after JFK.
USS Barack Hussein Obama :showoff:

Seems fair. The two men were fairly similar.

I don't care about naming them after Presidents, but why name another one after Kennedy?
How about the USS Abraham Lincoln, or USS John Adams or even Thomas Jefferson?

But I agree. I'd also suggest not naming anything after anyone until they've been dead for at least 100 years.

I don't thing the French are actually capable of a sex scandal. To be a scandal, someone has to be scandalized. ;)

This calls for a seamen/semen joke referring to the phallic shape of the Virignia Class submarine and it's ability to disgorge semen through a hole (torpedo tube) in it's front.

A boy whale and a girl whale decided to do something about the whaling ship. So both of them swim under the ship and both blow the air through their blowholes sinking the ship. As the ship sinks the men on board jump in the water trying to get off the sinking ships. The boy whale then says to the girl whale, lets eat the whalers! The girl whale replies, I agreed to the blowjob but I never agreed to swallow seamen.

To be fair, if Jefferson was alive today, he'd make Ron Paul look life a Great Society type.

I don't think the joke works in Whale.
To think that the USN used to have such good ship names. :(
The Royal Navy doesn't have many good ship names, either, but due to an entirely different problem: it doesn't have many ships any more.

Well some Wales speak Welsh, but those around Quebec are required to provide whale calls in French at request.

That was my thought too but now I'm not too sure about that either.
Of course there was the Continental Navy, which obviously predates any President. It seems that the first 6 frigates were ordered by Congress during Washington's second term. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_navy#From_reestablishment_to_the_Civil_War) Adams definitely expanded the navy during his term and President Jefferson overcame his dislike of the Navy to use it against the Barbary pirates.
Anyone out there more knowledgeable than me (not that that's saying a lot) have an answer?
It would be odd if the Marine Corps predated the Navy for a few decades.

Indeed. Should have been named after someone not monstrous, like Alexander Hamilton.
...Oh. They did that. An SSBN, too.
Well, John Jay, I guess.
SSBN Curtis LeMay
SSNB Arthur Harris
SSBN Enola Gay
and finally
SSBN Bockscar
Just in case anybody thinks there are better names for boomers.
I'm conflicted about that.
And LeMay is tainted by his association with Governor Wheels.

Governor Wheels and LeMay? You'r gonna have to explain that one to me.
George Wallace. Segregationist Gov. who ran for Prez on the American Independent party ticket (now the Constitution party). Was shot, and paralyzed. Spent the rest of his life in a wheel chair. LeMay was his VP pick.
how do you get from Wallace to Wheel?
