Hum... Now that brings up memories... Sitting on Anchor detail aboard  
the
Constellation (CV 63 and a half) 20 some odd years ago trying to name
all the carriers in the USN (Note this was after 2 weeks in Subic  
Bay) and
we came up with CVN-71 Richard Milhouse Nixon, we went so far as
attempting to make letterhead for our NEW carrier. Our Booter-Brown-Bar
was not amused....
