    I am a US Navy veteran of the Vietnam and I served with the Big E and this has been a part of our national history since we became a nation and does not bode well not to have this great name as a part of our fleet. I was 10 years old when this ship began service.

    My Dad (Larry Barge, poster above) is a proud veteran, and he served our country selflessly aboard this beautiful vessel! Please preserve its name and historical significance!!! My grandchildren should be able to hear about it when I’m old and grey!!!
