According to the CNAF site, SecNav has announced that the CVN-80, has been assigned the name USS ENTERPRISE! Thank the Lord that tradition will survive.

Far superior to another political name. I could also support a USS NEIL ARMSTRONG, but perhaps an exploration or research vessel may be a better choice there.

Good choice...although it's going to create havoc with the set designers for any future "Star Trek" movies....one more in the long lineage to "represent" on the Quarterdeck or the Captain's Cabin, or wherever...
Oh, and the CNAF website showed a CG representation with the bow numbers painted on upside down. Just saying.

The SCHIRRA is an AOELMNOP or whatever they're called now. She UNREPed us a bunch on my last Eastern Pacific Excursion.
JJ Abrams can go fuck himself.
I, for one, am happy to see a return to a more traditional ship naming convention.

As a fresh-caught VF-1 hinge, I once accidentally took 'command' of the Big E, had her turn into the wind in the middle of the night while the Captain was sleeping, and damn near launched her alert aircraft.

The Big "E" (aka USS Enterprise CVN-65), one of a kind flattop
Good story, enjoyed reading it again!
Is "Enterprise" diverse enough for the Navy of today?
Sure……Vulcans, Asians, Russians, African Americans, Scottish, and the guys in the red that get killed first.
On a serious note, this is a good thing.
Your inner nerd is showing, oh and the transporter is down along with the food replicators.
Everything is due on Tuesday!
Ensigns...
I hope this one comes with a fully functional (and individually-tailorable) "Holo-Deck". Screw liberty if they could make that work...
I'm sure if it did, it would be shortly followed by a mod to GO #1 to specify restrictions of its use...I hope this one comes with a fully functional (and individually-tailorable) "Holo-Deck". Screw liberty if they could make that work...
