    I get them naming one after Harry Truman or JFK, but Gerald Ford? It's like naming a Trident submarine HMS Michael Howard, or HMS Michael Foot. USS Gerald Ford should be a laundry ship

    Funnily enough Tooting I watched President Trumpton commission it last month. It's the Worlds most powerful ship.

    Unfortunately none of the Newport's VA are near the ocean, who taught you geography, Fingy?
