No USS Enterprise

Post by Karl Heidenreich »

In one of the US Navy worst mistakes, ever, the CVN 79 that was supposed to be called Enterprise to replace the existing one will be called.... John F. Kennedy. What a disgrace! The tradition of a US Enterprise is something that cannot be overlook in such a way. If they wanted a ship called Kennedy then there are a lot of trawlers or Coast Guard ships to be baptized as such.

Let's hope that CVN-80 could have a decent name!

It could have been worse Karl.

They could have named it the USS George McGovern......
