  Why?

 RC> We have 10 Nimitz Class Carriers, the first one began
 RC> construction in 1975.

 I think you said something like that at the beginning of all
 this.

 RC> USS Nimitz

 ...

 RC> Of the 10:

 RC> 6 were named using some variation of an opinion you voiced,
 RC> the namesake had been dead for an excess of 25 years.

 Good, they get to keep their names.

 RC> You would not have had an opinion on this, had I not raised

 You have no idea what you are talking about.

 RC> Quite frankly you had no opinion until I introduced the

 That was one of the dumber things you have said. If you think I
 didn't "bristle" when they first announced the construction of
 the "Reagan" you badly underestimate my objection to the
 deification of Ronald Reagan. If you think I didn't "Bristle" at
 the announcement of the "GHW Bush" you badly underestimate my
 disgust at the republican exploitation of the military, and my
 disgust at the corruption of the Bush dynasty.

 RC> Admit it Bob, you dont care what the Carriers are called as
 RC> long as they perform the duties they are designed to do.

 I most certainly do care about any military facility being
 exploited for partisan purposes, esp for the worship of
 republican presidents whose legacy is debt, poverty, and
 decline.

 RC> This is why you get the shit from me and others in debating
 RC> it is that fucking facade you put up.

 No, you spew shit because you can't deal with anyone who will
 stand against you no matter how much bull shit you spread.

 RC> I believe the Navy names its Capital Ships after people, do
 RC> you have issues with them naming their lighter ships after
 RC> US cities?

 I haven't yet seen that exploited for partisan purposes. If it
 is, I will object.

 RC> BTW, The Ford Class Carrier I mentioned, I never specified
 RC> when the first one is to be built, why did you perceive
 RC> otherwise?

 If it isn't in process, then good, maybe it will never be built.
 Maybe a class named after someone who fits the standards will be
 built.
