President Donald Trump dubbed the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier the “Navy One” during a visit on Sunday, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy.
Trump marked the landmark anniversary on Sunday by delivering a speech in Norfolk, Virginia. Before this, however, he stopped by the aircraft carrier to give the vessel the temporary title “Navy One” in the same vein as the president’s aircraft, Air Force One.
“Everybody knows this is, as you know, Navy One, by the way, for the day. Only for the day, and for one day, it’s Navy One. Like Air Force One, this is Navy One. Thank you, thank you, everybody,” Trump said while speaking into a radio onboard.
First lady Melania Trump joined her husband during their visit.
Trump’s speech marking the Navy’s 250th anniversary included a shoutout to Navy veteran Felix Maurizio, who celebrated his 100th birthday in February and was among the attendees of Trump’s speech. The president also did his iconic “YMCA” dance aboard the USS Harry S. Truman.
