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.

You could feed them all on half of what you eat.

Aircraft carriers supplied relief aid to Katrina victims.

The people on the carriers did. Not the carriers themselves.

You should go Katy. The Nimitz class is awesome..30+ kts. While in
NJROTC I got to sail aboard the USS Ike CVN69 on her commissoing cruse
.. Man did I screw up! They have cables and stanchion that pop out of
the deck when the aircraft elevators are about to move. They were
covered with thick new goobed on graphite grease. They came up and
rubbed up the front of my dress white uniform. Funny thinking about it
today, but it was a major hassle and screw-up that day to say the
least. I always had uniform issue's in the Navy.

It's fitting Bush gets a carrier named after him. More so than any
other carrier named after a president. After all Bush flew the Avenger
torpedo bomber in combat from the carrier USS San Jacinto. He was later
awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and three Air Medals for his
Navy service in the Pacific theater during World War II.
