To LuzerChezbergr: Nah, you're not going to be surprised yet.

No U.S. Aircraft Carrier, has ever taken the name of a U.S. state. Typical U.S. Carrier Names: Location of famous battles (often Colonial- through WWII currently. Such as Lexington, York Town, Bunker Hill, and Antietam) Famous Revolutionary war Icons (Hancock, Franklin) Famous Presidents (George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D, Rooseveltm Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and the latest one, to take the name as the Lead ship for the new "Ford-Class" carriers, Gerald Ford) Random animal nams (Hornet, Wasp) After the class (Almost always the Lead ship): I.E. Nimitz, Gerald R. Ford as seen above, Forrestal, Kitty Hawk. Famous locations in general (I.E. Kitty Hawk) And of course, because it just wouldn't be the United States Navy with out one... The Big E. A.k.a. The Enterprise

And I have to agree with what's been said... If IW plans on Bringing Soap and Price away from War Criminal Status.. their going to have to come up with a really good story. Even barring everything.. the fact is... what Price himself did, would fall under War Criminal Status, as put simply.. he brought the war VERY close to Global Thermonuclear Warfare with his little EMP stunt. Not to mention, he did cause plenty of deaths anyway with it. Soap technically is aiding and abetting, as is Nikolai.
