US NAVY WELCOMES THE USS BILL CLINTON* *CVS 1*

*
Sunday July 2nd 2006 Leaving Vancouver , BC Headed For Seattle , WA
The US Navy welcomed the latest member of its fleet today.*

*

The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port
of Vancouver, BC.

The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to
President Bill Clinton 'for his foresight in military budget cuts' and his
conduct while president.
The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is
completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal
comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft
which, although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight
deck, form a very menacing presence.

As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person
crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, sex,
and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy
Carter, is special ly trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all
enemies of the United States at all costs.!

An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of
apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number
of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous
, the Navy advises that all apologies will sound very sincere.

The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense, but
instead in times of conflict the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in
Canada . The ship may be positioned near the Democratic National Party
Headquarters for photo-ops and can be used ext ensively for social
experimentation and whatever other worthless jobs, the ex-commander-in-chief
and his wife can think of.

It is largely rumored that the ship will also be the set for the upcoming
season of MTV's 'The Real World.'

The ship was renamed and commissioned USS William J Clinton when someone
realized the **USS Blowfish** was already taken.*
