The USS Ronald Reagan. Commissioned July 12th 2003, she will be a proud addition to the fleets of the United States. Named for a great man, with a proud legacy.
I know I'm late on this, but I couldn't let it go. The Reagan's brave crew will make us proud of them, our navy always does.
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee,--are all with thee!-----------by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Bloody hell, it's already rusty! Lackeys! We need more lackeys! Chief! Git your deck hands out there NOW!
