Description

030712-N-3128T-098 Naval Station Norfolk, Va. (Jul. 12, 2003) -- Hundreds of spectators and media witness the commissioning of the Navy's newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), while the ship's crew, stand at parade rest during the ceremony. Ronald Reagan is named after the 40th President of the United States, and is the ninth Nimitz class aircraft carrier. The ship’s motto is “Peace Through Strength” a phrase coined by President Reagan who is widely credited for bringing an end to the Cold War, and rebuilding the U.S. military. At the commissioning ceremony, Mrs. Reagan gave the ship's crew the traditional first order as an active unit of the Navy: "Man the ship and bring her to life."
