USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) is the tenth and last Nimitz class supercarrier of the United States Navy. She is named for former President George H. W. Bush, who was a naval aviator during World War II. She is the second US aircraft carrier to be named after a naval aviator (Forrestal was the first). While still a Nimitz class ship, George H. W. Bush differs significantly from her predecessors.

George H. W. Bush was born in the state of Connecticut. He was a decorated naval combat pilot in the Pacific during the Second World War despite the fact that he was the youngest pilot in the U.S. Navy. After the war he graduated from Yale University, and moved to Texas to work as an oil executive. Bush later entered public life and served in the U.S. House of Representatives, and was director of the Central Intelligence Agency, American ambassador to the United Nations, and vice president of the United States, among other positions.

It is disturbing that George W. Bush would have close ties with a man of such a poor reputation. Consider, for example, this item from an article at News Max: Ashcroft Is Bush's 'Johnny Appleseed', Aug. 18, 2001 - 'In East Tennessee, solid GOP territory, Ashcroft had $200,000 to bestow on the police of Knoxville, whose Mayor Victor Ashe was George W. Bush's roommate at Yale University.' And consider this item from an article at USmayors.org: 'President George W. Bush has announced the appointment of Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe, a Past President and current member of the Executive Committee of The U.S. Conference of Mayors, to the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae, the nation's largest source of financing for home mortgages. Ashe is the first mayor to serve on Fannie Mae's Board of Directors.' Even more disturbing than George W. Bush's close ties with Victor Ashe past and present are multiple allegations of homosexual relations coming from former Secret Service agents who worked for the Presidential Administration. Skolnicks' Reports, which is linked from Puritan News Weekly, chronicles this testimony. With that in mind, the following web sites mention suspicions that Victor Ashe, Mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, is W's longtime gay partner. Ashe is an open homosexual, who has been described in news stories as sexually active and promiscuous.
