Former President George H.W. Bush made an unannounced visit to his namesake aircraft carrier, saying he's "very excited" about Saturday's commissioning.
The 84-year-old former president walked briskly with a cane Friday as he visited the Nimitz-class carrier George H.W. Bush.
He told reporters he was proud of the more than 2,500 crew members who are working furiously to prepare the ship for commissioning.
The former president, a decorated Navy pilot in World War II, and his son, President George W. Bush, will attend the ceremony Saturday at the 1,092-foot aircraft carrier.
