#3 FYI: To clarify The Bush would be the last Nimitz class CVN. Not the Reagan.
The Reagan may not even be the jump that's expected with the George H.W. Bush, the carrier that the yard is now ramping up production on. The Bush, also known as CVN-77, is set for completion in 2008 and is expected to be the last of the Nimitz-class ships.

#4 I vote they name the CVN-21 the Robert Heinlein. Equipped with lasers and rail guns, it would make an old naval officer with vision proud.
