Bush, a new aircraft carrier named after his father -- the ultimate honor for a decorated Navy pilot from World War II. With just days left in his presidency, Bush and first lady Laura Bush joined his father, now 84 years old, and other Bush family members at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia for the commissioning of the nuclear-powered carrier.
