The US Navy welcomed the latest member of its  fleet today. Pictured above: the USS William Jefferson Clinton CVS1 set sail  today from its home port of Vancouver, BC.

The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy  and is a standing legacy to President Clinton and his foresight in military  budget cuts. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum  and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an  arsenal comprised of one F14 Tomcat or F18 Hornet aircraft, which although  they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very  menacing presence.

As a standing order there are no firearms  allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified and includes  members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation.

The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a  unit of national defense - in fact in times of conflict its orders are to  remain in hiding in Canada, but will be used extensively for social  experimentation and whatever worthless jobs the ex-commander in chief and his  wife can think of.

It is largely rumored that the ship will also be  the set for the upcoming season of MTV's "The Real World."
