Can we please call it the "H W"? I'd really hate to think that the navy is going to be saddled for decades with a six billion dollar warship that's regularly called the George Bush. Plus, doesn't that name basically plaster a giant target on its side? Blah. I hate naming navy ships after politicians (and yes, I realize that the president's father was a navy pilot - but if you are going to play that card to defend the use of the name, then by tradition it would be much more appropriate to name a destroyer after the former president).
