KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Former President George H.W. Bush took a visit Sunday to an aircraft carrier named for him as it sat off the Maine coast.
Bush and his wife, Barbara, along with their son, former President George W. Bush, and other family members flew by helicopter to the USS George H.W. Bush several miles off Kennebunkport, where the Bushes maintain a family compound.
The 1,092-foot ship is the newest carrier in the Navy fleet and is the only one whose namesake is alive. Bush was a naval aviator during World War II. He turns 88 Tuesday.
