USS George Bush

For all those Bush fans at the org

This is for George Bush 88-91 president.

It used to be very rare to name a ship after living person but now it seems they are going to start a new standard to name them after a former president while they are still alive.

I understand the reasoning behind Ronald Reagan, as it was under his term of office that the Navy was at its largest since WWII.

Next in line (to be commissioned ~ 2015) is the USS Gerald Ford

So if they are to keep with the "new" tradition next should be USS William Jefferson Clinton and then another aircraft carrier the USS george Bush.

Come on a Clinton ship would have to be some sort of stealth variant as it got past so much, and it would have to have a lot of firepower... that is phallic shaped... torpedoes, missiles and large guns.

Dear God no.

PVC nurses uniform would be much better. You can, so I'm told, even just wipe the uniform clean, after use.

What's the motto of the USS George H. W. Bush going to be?

"No New Taxes"? That would be rather silly, considering the taxes that went to build it. Oh well. Maybe just "Read My Lips" would work. Oh, oh! I know! How about one from his campaign slogans when running against Ronnie Rayguns in 1980 before he did an about face and flip-flopped his way into the vice presidency! The ship motto can be "Voodoo Economics!" That's the winner. Where are our taxes? No you see them, now you don't!

What will his son's ship's motto be?

"Mission Accomplished"? They can use that one before it ever leaves port. "Bring it on!" might not be a good idea, considering the number of troop deaths since he last uttered that phrase. I know! How about "I am not a crook!" Er... no wait, they need to save that one for the USS Tricky Dick.

And it's going to be a problem if they decide to commission a carrier named after Dubya. USS Dubya won't work, it's just his nickname. Can't have two USS George Bush's. People will even get confused if one is the USS George H. W. Bush and the other is the USS George W. Bush. Maybe the problem will be solved when the current Bush is impeached and frog-marched out of the White House doing the perp walk.

Isn't this a bit lame? No disrespect to George Bush Sn but warships should have macho, exciting names like Invincible, or Destructicator (that one's for Dubya).

This is besides the obviously unfortunate fact that an aircraft carrier called Bush is going to get teased even more than the Foch was. (Say it aloud, kids...maybe in a scottish accent...)

Oh common, you had it all in your hands and still you failed. Now what is stealthy, looks like a cigar, is wet after use and fires torpedo's?
