                        I just hope that they do commission CVN-80 - I can see them deciding to cancel her for budget reasons but still keep all the politician-names ones. Stick out tongue

                        It really is kind of amazing, when you think about it - FIFTY-ONE years. That's got to count as a life well lived in anyone's book.

                        I'll be dead and gone by the time the next Enterprise is decommissioned.

                        May she be as good a ship as her predeccessors, and may she become as steeped in history as they were!

                        USS Enterprise! 

                        It was announced during the decommissioning ceremony yesterday in Norfolk, Virginia, that the next Gerald R. Ford class CVN after the new USS John F Kennedy CVN-79, will be named Enterprise. That will be probably ten years from now the way I figure it. It won't be commissioned until 2027 and will be rplacing the Ike, CVN-69.
