It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Name it after a WWII carrier, battle or admiral.

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.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Seems fair.  The two men were fairly similar.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

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?

Well Kennedy was in the navy.

Jefferson founded the Navy (much against his own best judgement though...)
