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.

Kute, you are so wrong, the name is chosen by the Navy. All Congress gets is the proposed hull number.

Mikel, guess you better check on that, Carter had a fit when he found out he was only getting a submarine.

Answer 1

The reason why George H.W. Bush had an aircraft carrier named after him was because he was an Navy aircraft pilot who flew off of Aircraft Carriers during WW2. Jimmy Carter had a submarine named after him because he served on a submarine chosen by Adm. Rickover for the Navy's nuclear submarine program. It was more of an honor for Carter to his naval service to have a submarine named after him. Right now we will just have to wait for the completion of the U.S.S. Clinton for now ;-).

Answer 2

Bill Clinton is anti military, I think he would prefer to have a whorehouse or a STD clinic named after him. Jimmy has a sub named after him, I would not want to serve on it, it may be as big a failure as he was.

Answer 3

yeah, my son wants to serve on the bill clinton

Answer 4

congress names ships, so of course a Republican run congress would name everything after their heroes.
