I do wonder why they named the new class after Gerald Ford of all people. I don't have anything in particular against him, but they name them after Presidents so they pick the one that sort of ended up there by accident? before Madison or Monroe or Jefferson among others?

He served in the USN during WWII. Other than that, I tend to agree with you. I might have preferred they held off the Reagan name and name the new class after him.

But, I stand with the sailors of the CVA association - the new class (and lead ship) should have been the America.
