re: U.S.S. Ronald Reagan to be commissioned tomorrow
Pretty ship:
The 20-story ship, built for 6,000 crew members, has a steering wheel smaller than a car’s
Not your Father's Aircraft carrier...
Unless you're George W. Bush of course
After the next carrier, the George H.W. Bush, the Navy intends to unveil a new design; it will be roughly the size of a Nimitz-class ship but with automated systems that could cut the ship's company of 3,200 by one-third or more and a new reactor able to power electromagnetic catapults and directed-energy weapons.
If they follow that naming convention and name the new design the USS Bill Clinton, I wonder what the new shape will be? OK, sorry I asked.
