George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, the most famous father-son act in American politics since the Adamses, saluted one another at a rain-drenched, shore-side ceremony Saturday, as an aircraft carrier was christened in the name of the father, a naval aviator who survived a direct strike by Japanese antiaircraft fire over the Pacific 62 years ago.
Doro Bush Koch, the former president's daughter and the current president's sister, smashed a bottle of sparkling wine against the bow of the vessel, and declared: "I hereby christen thee USS George H.W. Bush. May God bless all who sail her."
