The Navy announced Tuesday it will name the first ship in the next class of aircraft carriers after former President Gerald R. Ford, who died three weeks ago. It is a fitting tribute to Ford, who served in the Navy during World War II, say those who knew him.
A fitting tribute to President Ford, and well deserved. I just hope the ship herself doesn’t get mixed up and think she was made by Ford Motors, parts might start falling off way out at sea.
Not sure i agree on the ‘well deserved’. i could be missing something, and if so please point it out. But what did Ford do besides pardon Nixon?
