We're getting a new Carrier!
AND, a new class of carriers! Good announcement for Veteran's Day. Named after a good guy. Welcome to the Gerald R. Ford!

http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/milit...ny_in_Virginia

The construction of the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford will begin on Nov. 14 when builders lay the keel in Newport News, Va.

The carrier is named for former President Ford and is the first in the new "Ford Class" of carriers.

Ford's daughter, Susan, will attend the ceremony
