Politics behind "decomming" USS JOHN F KENNEDY?
Advertisements [?]
Is it possible that there could be more than budget issues driving the elimination of the JFK?

Right now, of our most powerful ships. The only remaining that are named after Democrats are the Kennedy and the Truman.

They recently started construction on the George Herbert Walker Bush, and the Ronald Reagan was just commissioned a couple of years ago. Anyone think that the eventual USS George W Bush is too far-fetched to fathom? Don't think that carrier landing was just for show do you?

Interesting how ships are named. I wonder when we will get around to constructing the USS William Jefferson Clinton.

Anyway, just my thoughts that this BFEE, which I don't think had any love for the Kennedy's, would not pass up an opportunity to strike a blow to JFK's legacy. Not that their petty of anything!
