President Bush will join his parents at Saturday's christening of the nation's newest aircraft carrier, named for his father, at shipbuilder Northrop Grumman Newport News.
The carrier, CVN-77, is called the George H.W. Bush, after the country's 41st president.
President Bush will participate in the ceremony, said Blair Jones, a White House spokesman.
"This is a tremendous honor for the president's father, and he's looking forward to the christening," Jones said Monday.
Oh yeah, Carter got a submarine.
