No disrespect, but I hope you are not referring to not liking CVNs! Thery are fanastic - lots of hot water for showers, and acceleration like a Porshe!
I got the impression he was refering to his interest in a series of carrier's that predated the the nuclear carrier's not that he didn't like them. For example, I really like the B-17 much more than those big ugly jet bombers of today. Thats not to say I don't like the jets...I just am much more interested in the B-17.
