Sure, I suppose it's nice that the Navy is going to have another ship named Enterprise. But I think that it would be much more in the spirit of the idealized society of the Federation of Planets to, instead, stop over-spending on and over-developing the military and devote much more significant funds to science. The construction of yet another aircraft carrier is, to paraphrase Eisenhower, yet another theft from those who hunger and are not fed as we continue to spend the sweat of our labor and the genius of our scientists.
