Question here: Who was Mr. Stenis?  (Considering that US Nimitz Class Carriers
are named after famous people from US history, the fact that this name
draws an absolute and total blank is annoying.)

John Stennis is a retired US Senator from Mississippi.  He served one of the
longest terms in the Senate, if not the longest, and was a long-time
member of the Armed Services Committee.  He was considered by many as being
very hawkish on defense matters.

He is Mr. John C. Stennis from Mississippi.  He was a US Senator for
many years and say as chairman on the Senate Armed Services Committee I
do believe.  He retired a few years ago and Trent Lott took over
his seat.

I think he was one of the longest seated members of the Senate.  
He has a political science scholarship here at Mississippi State
and is well known.

If you would like some specific information I can just run across
campus to the archives and get some stuff..
