Gerald Ford was a good man and in retrospect, would have been much better than that bleeding heart wimp Jimmy Carter.Hopefully they will not name one for Carter or Clinton.Sadly, some poor sailor may end up on the USS Barack Obama one day

The USS Barry Goldwater sounds great

The USS Jimmy Carter already exists. Its SSN23 - a modified Seawolf class. It was the third and final of the class, modified to be longer (plug inserted aft of the sail) and is used primarily for special operations. The plug was put in to allow for additional stowage and berthing for the teams assigned, as well as launching and docking of ROV's as well as better egress and return for the teams.

Probably best if the Clinton is built, it avoid any cigar shaped hulls like SSN's. Of course on the other hand, one could say any enemy vessels encountered would almost certainly be screwed in secret with plausable denials at the ready.

Maybe a cruise ship, U.S.S. Bill Clinton, one they always heads away from any danger and has a lage amount of booze and loose women aboard?

True, but you don't have to be a President to have a carrier named after you.
