Former
US first lady Nancy Reagan
commissioned the US Navy's newest aircraft
carrier, USS Ronald Reagon, at Norfolk Naval

At
a ceremony, Vice President Dick Cheney said

to Reagon's vision. "He came to the
presidency with a clear understanding of the
tools our Navy would need to protect the
American people," Cheney said.
