===Naming=== ''Ronald Reagan'' is the first aircraft carrier and first nuclear-powered warship of any type to be named in honor of a living former president.<ref>{{Cite web |title=USS Ronald Reagan Commemorates Former President's 90th Birthday |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0103/04/sm.06.html |date=4 March 2001 |website=[[CNN]] |access-date=24 January 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081025142405/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0103/04/sm.06.html |archive-date=25 October 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>[[USS George Washington (1798)]] was the first ship to be named for any U.S. president, and one who was still alive at the time. [[USS John Adams (1799)]] was the first USN ship to be named for a president while he was serving in office, and remained in commission for several years afterwards.</ref> Unlike most of the men honored by inclusion in this group, Reagan was not associated with the United States Navy, apart from his term as [[Commander-in-chief#United States|Commander-in-Chief]], although one of his key initiatives in office was the [[600-ship Navy]] program.
