I was there for the last one - USS Truman, during Clinton's admin.

They're going to christen the new aircraft carrier at Grummon across the
river on Saturday (should be interesting in the middle of a Nor'eater).
Both Bush and Cheney will be there (ot's named after GW's Dad, George the
First). Guy in the apt. across from us is an acct, for Grummon. He said
they'd be moving her to a different berth up the river to fit her
out...that will take another 2 years. This is the last of the Nimitz
class to be built.
