Funny, thing the Navy is requesting imput on naming the next eight ships of the Gerald Ford class, and apparently, the concencus they are getting is for great battles of the Revolutionary War/WWII carriers with a distinct move away from Presidents.
Even though I think the current crop of Nimitz names are pretty good, with possible exception to Carl Vinson and John C Stennis, but I like both of them better than a nuclear powered USS John F Kennedy or the possibility of a USS William Jefferson Clinton or USS Barack Hussein Obama.
I always thought the English named thier ships so much better than we did.
