Just wondering what the callsign would have been for Dubya's visit to the carrier the other day in the S-3 Viking.
Would it be Navy 1, for example (in keeping with the standard Air Force 1 and Marine 1)
"Navy One" was used, according to news reports.

Kind of missing the certain je ne sais quoi of "Kittyhawk" or "Unicorn", isn't it?
