Aparently not.

But...didn't Carter serve on a sub? If so, and I think that he did...then I would see that as fitting. And again...didn't Ford serve on a carrier? Don't know so much about the others, save for JFK and his PT boat.
Last time I checked Ford IS deceased

Nice little op piece, concidering Ford was one of our most combat decordated
presidents.
So it seems rather fitting to name a carrier after him, and Clinton will get his due as soon as the Navy creates a swift boat to England his name should grace the first one.
