Only Nixon Could go to China

It occurred to me this morning that we should change the name of CVN-77, under construction as the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush, to the U.S.S. Richard M. Nixon. That way, if we ever get into a war with China, we could deploy that carrier first, because only Nixon could go to China.

OK, it's bad, but it's early.
