3404 RickMena "Well, it's a new ship. But it has the right name. You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring ya home." I can't imagine ANY fleet without a flagship named ENTERPRISE. Our future depends on it.
3405 GreggJohnson ENTERPRISE is an iconic name in US Naval lore - it should live on forever!
3406 jackieandrews I think the name should carry on.

3413 StanBodenstein CVA(N)65 crew member '67-'71. There has not been much time in the history of the USA that there has not been a USS Enterprise in the fleet. Good things need to stay together! Tradition!!!
3414 SeanWorsley there should always be an Enterprise
3415 KathyMohamed This country does not exist without an Enterprise!!!!!!
3416 MaryanneVitie The noble name "Enterprise" should continue. This naming of ships for people should stop altogether.
3417 MikeCurtis The 1st Enterprise played a very important roll in the creation of this country and CV-6 pretty much won ww2 for us!!!!!!
3418 SHAUNHEDDEN there should always be a uss enterprise in service, its a name with proud tradition and should always be carried majestically as it always has been
3419 pauleisenberg It would be a great injustice to all who served and died on CVN-65 throughout her amazing 50 year history, to not have the honored name continue on CVN-80.
3420 HermanSorensen The name, "Enterprise" should never be left on the side of the road. Every ship that has carried that name has been proven time and again.
3421 MattSingleton It would be an insult to the Navy and sailors past and present to leave "ENTERPRISE" out of the new carrier lineup
3422 MichaelDurling  
3423 TimDeHoogh Give CVN-80 the name of USS Enterprise.
3424 CarlLepak It will be a sad day when there is no USS Enterprise...

3434 ScottMitchell The U.S. Navy should always have a USS Enterprise in the fleet!!!!!
3435 WayneHoldaway I agree there should always be an carrier named USS Enterprise in our Naval fleet, and that CVN-80 should be named the USS Enterprise. Also, let's go back to naming the carriers after great battles and former warships, not politicians, regardless how not
3436 ThomasEliason There should always be an Active Carrier named Enterprise!!!
3437 ToniaVan Der Kamp  
3438 Sidney GGaertner IV I woiuld like to put my son name Sidney J Gaertner V, my daughters Sophia I Gaertner and Samantha L. Gaertner on the list as well but since they do not have email addresses I will add them here. The United States Navy can not be without an Enterprise!!!
3439 EricaGaertner  
3440 LanceMurdock Need the enterprise in the navy

3442 GregHinze Such a storied part of our history. I think it's a great idea!
3443 DominicPerea The legacy of the Enterprise has been one of outstanding naval leadership and historical significance. The name alone has a recognition world wide as a protector of freedom. There should always be an Enterprise in the fleet!

3448 DanielAdam I may be in Army JROTC, but I would like to see the legacy of the U.S.S. Enterprise live on. I am a military history buff, and anyone who is so knows that the Enterprise means a great deal to our nation. For Christ's sake, even Star Trek knew it.
3449 ZacharyMinton I am proud to have served onboard USS Enterprise. Just as the future crew of CVN 80 will be proud to to belong to its legacy!
3450 Juan C.Pena There should always be a carrier named Enterprise in the US Navy!

3452 CarlyleBennerson  
3453 JoshuaJordan  
3454 AprilCarmen The Navy must continue with tradition and name a new carrier Enterprise.
3455 TroyParker CVN-80 should be named Enterprise for the simple reason that the great history of that name should be honored. People all around the world know and respect the name "Enterprise."

3466 Karl JohanUri  
3467 BenJackson Should be named the Enterprise
3468 TimKaylor Enterprise is such a known and remembered name there must always be one in the Navy.

3470 BobYoung We need to continue the tradition of having a ship named "Enterprise" to represent and protect the US.

3479 MarcWagner Enterprise has long stood for power and dignity in our Navy. Her legacy should live on.
3480 ScottBregi  
3481 SherryHughes-Jones I think politicians think enough of themselves already. No ships named after them for a while. Enterprise is more important and should not be cut up; she should be a shrine!!!!
3482 MistyRuckle  
3483 PhilipBissonnette  
3484 RachelSaucier  
3485 RobertMcMenamin The US NAVY has had a ENTERPRISE for over 70 years, and considering the honorable history of these vessels, the honor of the sailors who went to sea in these carriers a new carrier MUST be named after the "Fighting Ship" in the US NAVY.
3486 AlbertoBernal As an admiror of the US Navy, the presence of the Enterprise has been a common place to encourage sailors to fight for victory for more than 200 years. This flag must not be banished from the Fleet. There must be an USS Enterprise in operations!
3487 MerylKrieger This is a name with a long tradition - please keep it alive!
3488 RobertKebert  
3489 rodgermorefield as a 30 plus year Shipbuilder and having the privilege to help maintain the current USS Enterprise for the last ten years, it would wrong to let her name die for a politician that has no clue about the real world
3490 JohnMcDuffie The Big E CVN 65 was the first carrier I served on. I did 3 deployments on her and she served this country well for half a century. there has always been and should always be a USS Enterprise.
3491 DavidGibson Having served as a Department Head 2005-07, I can think of no better idea than a new Enterprise after the current awesome Big E is decommissioned.
3492 JamesAuld  
3493 GuyCurtis Carry on the tradition!
3494 MaryLash  
3495 WilliamArana The Enterprise name should never be forgotten

3497 KathleenO'Meara Please honor our Navy's heritage and name CVN-80 the USS Enterprise.
3498 GailMerriken My father is a plank owner of the current Enterprise. She kept him safe and brought him home every single time. There should ALWAYS be a USS Enterprise in the fleet!!!
3499 JeffCross In the movie STAR TREK: GENERATIONS, Patrick Stewart looked around the wreckage of the Enterprise-D and said that he doubted she'd be the last ship to bear the name. Please give the name to CVN-80 after CVN-65 gets retired and hopefully becomes a museum.
