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.

I know there's a movement to name CVN-80 the Enterprise. Frankly, I can't think of one argument why it shouldn't be done.
