Here’s something for everyone including the misplaced, out of town folks. I’m attaching pictures of three US Navy ships from different times in history. All three ships, the sloop, the ironclad and the aircraft carrier shared the same name.

This is a three part challenge;

First, find the name of the ship(s).

Second, find links to pictures that match the ones I’ve posted.

Third, find, identify and post a picture or link of the current Navy ship that carries the same name.

This might end up being too ease, but we’ll see what happens.

Your links all have the ship name in the file name, It would take a republican to miss that one

Not sure where you got your links but:

Two of your three links may be found here plus the current ship

I didn't look too hard for the third pictures location but similar ones are found here:

Just curious why you picked the Essex? The Essex class ships themselves are a large part of what turned the Pacific War around after the Enterprise, Hornet, Lexington and Yorktown held the Japanese off at Coral Sea and Midway. The class served faithfully into the era of the nuclear supercarrier. IMO, they don't get enough credit for their role in keeping the cold war just that-cold .
