They are not. In fact they are even getting rid of the CVN-65.
Thanks for destroying all my childhood dreams. [:@]
No charge, happy to oblige. Wait , I'll make it worse. They were going to name the next CVN Enterprise. But then Gerald Ford died. End of story. Maybe they'll name a mine sweeper or a supply boat? [:D]

Yep. We have the same thing in the USA , except we don't get allowances for them. They are called "city ordinances". Shovel your sidewalk , or pay a fine![:D]
Not much for "asking", are they? [:D]
Oh , they ask. And ask. And ask. And if you don't oblidge them , they take, take and take. [:D]

Buy a boat, get a job, join the Curtis Lemay flying club, learn the local history , continue my masters program on line, volunteer at some military museum (probably the SAC museum). Join a gun club , and most dangerous of all, try to teach my wife to shoot (again[:(][X(]). I'll keep busy. And lots of road trips to a part of the country I've never lived in before. [:)]

Philistine. Every Trekkie knows she was built (the D model) at Utopia Planitia shipyards, not on Earth.
True. But 1701 was built in San Fran. [:)]
No , it was built in a corn field in Iowa. [:D]

Puddiiiing?
Down boy, down![:D]
I think we might need a cattle prod for this one.

Ah, no. Perhaps not. But there's marketing money in that geriatric colon, those geriatric bunions and that geriatric...well...never mind.

They have lakes and rivers in Nebraska that one can use pleasure craft on. How else do you think they can irrigate the corn?

OK , Mars. But the "cannon " is dead. Enterprise damaged it, and the new "Star Trek" killed it! [X(]
Maybe, but since no one watched Enterprise, it doesnt count. [:D]

It's nice to have variety in ancestors (that old genetic thing ya know! [:D]). I'm a boring 75% Quebecois,with a quarter Irish contaminataion thrown in.[:D] At least that's what my dad used to say to taunt my late mother , who was very proud of he Irish heritage. He used to love to play "Blazing saddles" for that particular scene where (politically correct version) they would let in the 1st two ethnic groups , but NO IRISH! That ALWAYS had her out of her chair screaming at the TV. [:D]
I'm starting to see where you get your sense of humor from. [:D]

Hey, look at the bright side. If you ancestor hadnt been so gullible, you'd be Canadian. Granted, you'd have health care, but thats too steep a price to pay. [:D]

Oh my...
US$3.3bn for this?!?!?! [X(]
USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000)
It takes a lot of money to make a ship that ugly! It's a good thing that the USN cancelled the program. That pig's too ugly to live! [:D]
