Would've been appropriate if they'd named the first of the new class of carriers, that's replacing the Nimitz class, the Enterprise - then we'd have the Enterprise class for the next 40 or so years.
Instead, the first one is going to be named the Gerald Ford.
Oh wonderful, the Ford class. That's really inspiring.
I wonder if the Navy has any idea that they've just laid themselves wide open to a half-century of bad car jokes.
