| #5 Looks like its a go - FOX just announced during the burial ceremony for POTUS Ford that the US Navy WILL name its next nuke carrier the USS GERALD FORD. |

| #4 The Carrier named after President Ford will also be the first of class. Lexington is my wish, then Ford, then Enterprise (assuming CVN Enterprise is off the roll by then). |

| #3 TW: I don't know about that; since that would be choice material for Leno or Letterman. Let me give an example: In 1997, the USS Kennedy was in the Mediterranean and the Shore Patrol from the boat was given a bright shiny new van. The unit was an automatic, but unlike the US cars, there was no'Park' position on the gear selector. The duty SP cam back from a run and 'parked' the van on the quay. Seems it had a bit of a slope and Sir issac's law took over. Next thing you know, the van is slowly settling to the bottom of the Cannes harbor. Shi's newspaper the next day had a picture of the sinking vehicle with the caption," One thing the Kennedys are known for is sinking cars." The C.O. of the boat was not amused. I was ROFLMAF!!! |
