Thank you tomcat. Please pass it around.

I wish we had a true follow on to the Tom Cat/Phoenix combo for fleet air defense. Sad day that we failed to replace that strong capability IMHO.

I love this Jeff. I pray it comes to past.
...let's see...how about

USS Enterprise (CVN 79)
USS Yankee Station (CVN 80)
USS Coral Sea (CVN 81)

I hope that the USN will one day return to naming carriers after battles or famous ships..

There is no rule/regulation forbidding the naming of an USN ship after a woman.

BZ - "USS Enterprise" is an excellent name (a lot of historical background). I strongly support it although I am not an American and not qualified to sign.
