    Quite right, Tom; the ship is named after the senior George Bush. Nixon has no vessels named after him, nor is he likely to have any. Personally, I have always disagreed with naming American carriers after people; I would much rather have seen them keep the historical ship names that they used to have. Politicians... :roll:

    You are quite right -- Flodden was an English victory. I must have been having a blonde moment.
