President Joe Biden announced Monday that two future Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers will be named after former US presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
US Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said the future Ford-class carriers will serve as lasting tributes to each leader's legacy in service of the United States.
Each knows firsthand the weight of the responsibilities that come with being Commander-in-Chief, Biden said in the White House announcement.
The newly named flattops follow the sea service's tradition of naming nuclear-powered carriers after US presidents.
