Does anyone have a definitive cite for this piece of information?

Here is a source for the info: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/cvn-77.htm
The fourteenth paragraph states, "On December 9, 2002 Secretary of the Navy Gordon England officially named the Navy's 10th Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, CVN 77, in honor of World War II naval aviator and former President of the United States George Herbert Walker Bush during a ceremony at the Pentagon."
Here is the official announcement from US Navy Navy to name newest carrier in honor of former President--SElefant 07:10, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No need to repeat a whole section of a referenced article seeing how small the source is. Revprez

I can't source it, but it was also announced at the christening of the USS Ronald Reagan. But, Wikipedia doesn't seem to like primary sources (since you're going off of a lot of faith at that point), so take that as you will. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Izuko (talk • contribs) 21:38, December 11, 2005

Ship's seal information (aircraft outlines)

Corrected quote "Above the carrier are the overhead profiles of a TBM Avenger torpedo bomber (representing Bush’s days as a Navy pilot), an F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter, and an F-35C Lightning II, superimposed one upon the other in order of the individual aircraft's outline size." The cited source DOES NOT say that and it cannot possibly be correct because the TBM has the widest wingspan at 50 feet, the F/A-18 has the narrowest wingspan at 40 feet and the F-35C has a wingspan of 43 feet.

Referring To The USS Ship As a Female Object Is Incorrect

It seems to be not only incorrect, but quite insulting to females as much as it is to males. It sounds more like something a "redneck" will be calling his car rather than out of a formal encyclopedia article.We aren't 13th century pirates - We have progressed from such things, and it is time to move on.

There is no need for me to explain with my own words why it is incorrect, simply take a look at this:

I'm new. I have noticed there is a thread regarding the issue, but I am not sure how I'm supposed to join the conversation, so I am creating a new one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustForNow1 (talk • contribs) 23:13, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, two very famous redneck characters in The Dukes of Hazzard usually referred to their car, the General Lee, as a "he". I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they were criticized for not using the correct "she" at some time during the show's run, probably by Northerner. :) - BilCat (talk) 02:42, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have always known our ship and allies ships as a She, or her. and enemy combat ship as its. all this Pc is going to bloody far. relax and take a chill pill. same go for cars. Like the 1969 Shelby Mustang GT 500 is known as Eleanor. -Major Jared29

General Characteristics Question-marks

I believe that a Daily Press article states (correctly) that CVN-77 possesses only two (2) CIWS, aft only (back end of the ship), instead of the "3 or 4?" as described in the article. I believe that this is about two (2) greater than on her predecessor ship, CVN-76. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 (talk) 00:16, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
