Will there ever be another USS Enterprise now that we are just calling ships after politicians?
>>29271161
It's been a long road.
>>29271161
absotutely
>>29271161
>tfw there will be a USS Feinstein one day
We need to organize a /k/ommando demo team so we can destroy it while it sits in the dry dock. We're going to need a lot of tannerite.
>>29271161
One of the new Ford Class will be named Enterprise.
>there will be a USS Barack Hussein Obama
>>29271253
>implying a big black submarine won't be named after him
>>29271161
One of the new Ford Classes will be named the Enterprise. I just want the USS Ranger back.
>>29271161
How about the USS Mickey Mouse
The USN should sell the naming rights for the Ford class boats to help offset cost overruns.
>>29271296
>tfw no more Saratoga, Lexington or Bunker Hill
when will we get our GOAT named carriers back?
>>29271332
Do you really want a USS Johnson & Johnson, or USS Coca-Cola, or a USS State Farm?
>>29271796
>USS Enterprise-Rent-a-Car
>>29271947
actually a uss enterprise vet founded enterprise and named it after the ship
>>29271796
No. I made that comment in jest.
>>29271309
I'll take a USS Sasha Grey
>>29271161
Yes. Already designated. CVN-80.
>>29271796
Why the hell not? Nothing would be funnier than the USS Wal-Mart btfo of bad guys
>>29271947
Fucking lol, i almost wish that actually happens.
>>29272250
What?
>>29271796
>USS Mcdonalds
given that hillary is running for president, the USS Monica Lewinsky should be the next name for one of our ships.
>>29272246
Ford class carriers:
CVN-78 Gerold R. Ford
CVN-79 John F. Kennedy
CVN-80 Enterprise
Everyone prepare for the day when CVN-81 is named the USS Barack H. Obama
>>29272419
I hope it pulls a Titanic and sinks on its maiden voyage.

Never happen. Carter only got the third Seawolf because he was actually a damn fine bubblehead/zoomie engineer. He had a very big hand working under Rickover in early naval reactor design, as well as design of the experimental liquid sodium plant in the SSN-575 Seawolf. With the Chalk River cleanup, he contributed significantly to the understanding and implementation of reactor safety design, redundancy and operations, as well as incident handling, which would later serve him well in responding to the Three Mile Island incident. The man was a legit nuke engineering pioneer.
>>29271796
Yes.
Its the American way.
>SSBN WonderBread
>DDGN Amazon.com
>>29271161
There will *always* be an Enterprise in the fleet.
>>29271189

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>29271236
It happened to the Miami, it can happen to the Feinstein
"I wanted to get off early"
>>29272563
Would you say he was a case of Peter Principle just like Rommel?
>>29275039
I think Carter was a brilliant man, and I love and agree with almost all his thinking in many areas. However, he was perhaps very much the wrong leader for that time. It is also important to remember that much of the foundation for his unpopularity was, as is the case with many presidents, due to the policies and messes of his predecessors come to fruition. Was he a perfect or even a great president? Not by any means. But he did receive far more than his fair share of approbation, both from contemporaries and historians.
I would disagree with the idea that he "rose to the level of his incompetence", and point out that while he was not the best leader for the basket of bollocks he was left, he was better than a good half of US presidents in the 20th century. Fairer to say he rose to the level of his mediocrity.

This. Carter averages a mid-20s rank among presidential scholar surveys, with a better rank than Ford, Nixon, Hoover, Coolidge, Harding, W. Bush and roughly congruent with Taft. I believe with a few more years, W.'s rank will come up a little, and they'll be roughly equal.
Mediocre is right on the money.

>tfw Jimmy Carter maintains a favorable rating over 50% in modern surveys, and less than 35% unfavorable
>when G. W. Bush hovers around 40-44% favorable and 55-62% unfavorable
>>29271796
The USS Coca-Cola bringing freedom to wherever it goes sounds totally awesome though
>>29275265
Popularity isn't necessarily a good judge of the quality of a president.
>>29275426
No, but it is in line with presidential scholars' averages.
>>29275151
And then he blessed every rigged election of a dictator around the world for the rest of his life.
>>29275265
Give it two more decades.
>>29271253
Probs not, all the carriers named after Presidents are former Navy personal. There probs won't be a dubya carrier or Clinton.
>>29275151
>Brilliant man
>US hostages held for 444 days
He was a dumb piece of shit and was always a fucking SJW
If he was so smart he wouldn't have been a democrat, fo sho
>>29276841
Like every liberal, he is a closet communist
I vote for naming ships after US volcanoes even though it's just naming them after whatever the volcanoes were named after
>USS Redoubt
>USS St. Helens
>USS Rainier
>>29276915
>all the carriers named after Presidents are former Navy personal
Anon, I have really bad news...
>USS Harry S. Truman
Colonel in the US Army
>USS George Washington
USN didn't even exist, and wouldn't until 1797. And Washington definitely didn't serve in the Colonial Navy - he was a ground forces man.
>USS Abraham Lincoln
3 months, Illinois militia, Captain
>USS Dwight D. Eisenhower
Do I really?
>USS Theodore Roosevelt
Colonel, US Army
>USS Ronald Reagan
Captain, USAF
Of all the carriers currently commissioned named after presidents, only one served in the USN:
>USS George H.W. Bush
>>29276915
>>29276982
kek. that's just embarrassing.
