Here's the dealio. When it gets there, and 1 rotates out, then no biggie.

If it gets there, and the other 2 stay, then things are likely to get very interesting.

Carl Vinson was Democratic Rep from Georgia for 50 years, and a big Navy supporter in Congress. John Stennis was a Democratic Senator from Mississippi who was also a big supporter of the Navy.

Now days, they name carriers after presidents and other political figures. Because politicians are like our most important national treasure you know. :rolleyes:

Maybe I'm missing something, but I only see one carrier in the Gulf right now. It looks like Stennis replaced Nimitz.
