(CNN)The U.S. Navy doesn't just do stuff "for fun," says the command master chief of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, but what 30% of the ship's crew will be up to over the next year or so can at least be termed pretty cool. And it will certainly be unprecedented. Some 1,200 of the Reagan's crew will be executing what the Navy calls a three-hull swap, serving aboard three different carriers in one tour of duty as the service juggles assets to meet mission requirements. The 1,200 are calling themselves "The Three Presidents Crew," as they will serve aboard three of the Navy's carriers named after presidents: the Reagan, the USS George Washington and the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The crew will even have its own insignia and hull number, CVN 220, the sum of the hull numbers of the Reagan (CVN 76), the Roosevelt (CVN 71) and the Washington (CVN 73). Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class David Frederick aboard the Reagan came up with the logo. "I am honored that my art will be a part of the legacy of this 'Three Presidents' crew, and I hope that it will bring attention to the hard work of all the Sailors who are involved in this crew swap," he said. The swap will begin this summer. The George Washington will go from its home port in Japan to San Diego, where a crew swap with the Reagan will take place. While the George Washington crew takes the Reagan to replace the Washington in Japan, the Three Presidents crew will board the George Washington, which will be headed for Norfolk, Virginia, and an overhaul. The 1,200 will sail with the Washington around South America, then they will fly back to San Diego to crew the Roosevelt, which is taking the Reagan's current spot there. "Think of how difficult a three-hull carrier swap would be to carry out," Capt. Chris Bolt, the commander of the Reagan, said in the ship's publication, The 76er. "It's never been done before." "We are just moving assets around so we can continue to meet mission requirements. That's exactly what this is all about. It's not because the Navy said, 'Let's do this for fun,' " Spike Call, command master chief of the Reagan, said in The 76er. Seven of the Navy's 10 active aircraft carriers are named after presidents. As one commenter on the Reagan's Facebook page said, maybe next time, the Navy could add a fourth carrier to the hull swap and come up with ... the USS Mount Rushmore. Hmmm, the Navy does have the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), but there is no carrier for Jefferson. So say we sub in the Reagan and come up with CVN 292. Apologies to the USS Rushmore (LSD 47).

(CNN)Den amerikanska flottan gör inte bara saker "för skojs skull", säger befälhavaren på hangarfartyget USS Ronald Reagan, men vad 30% av fartygets besättning kommer att vara upp till under det kommande året eller så kan åtminstone kallas ganska cool. Och det kommer helt säkert att vara utan motstycke. Omkring 1 200 av Reagans besättning kommer att utföra vad flottan kallar en treskrovsswap, som tjänstgör ombord på tre olika hangarfartyg i en tjänstgöringstur som servicen jonglerar tillgångar för att möta uppdragskrav. De 1 200 kallar sig "The Three Presidents Crew", då de kommer att tjänstgöra ombord på tre av flottans hangarfartyg uppkallade efter presidenter: Reagan, USS George Washington och USS Theodore Roosevelt. Besättningen kommer till och med att ha egna insignier och skrovnummer, CVN 220, summan av skrovnumren i Reagan (CVN 76), Roosevelt (CVN 71) och Washington (CVN 73). Masskommunikationsspecialisten 3:e klass David Frederick ombord på Reagan kom på logotypen. "Jag är hedrad över att min konst kommer att vara en del av arvet från denna 'Tre presidenter' besättning, och jag hoppas att det kommer att ge uppmärksamhet åt det hårda arbete som alla sjömän som är inblandade i detta besättningsbyte," sade han. Bytet börjar i sommar. George Washington kommer att gå från sin hemmahamn i Japan till San Diego, där ett besättningsbyte med Reagan kommer att ske. Medan George Washington besättningen tar Reagan för att ersätta Washington i Japan, kommer de tre presidenterna att gå ombord på George Washington, som kommer att vara på väg mot Norfolk, Virginia, och en översyn. De 1 200 kommer att segla med Washington runt Sydamerika, sedan kommer de att flyga tillbaka till San Diego för att bemanna Roosevelt, som tar Reagans nuvarande plats där. "Tänk på hur svårt det skulle vara att byta tre skrovs hangarfartyg", kapten. Chris Bolt, befälhavaren på Reagan, sade i skeppets publikation, Den 76er. "Det har aldrig gjorts förut." "Vi flyttar bara runt tillgångar så att vi kan fortsätta uppfylla uppdragskraven. Det är precis vad det handlar om. Det är inte för att flottan sa: 'Låt oss göra det här för skojs skull,' " Spike Call, befälschef för Reagan, sade i Den 76er. Sju av flottans 10 aktiva hangarfartyg är uppkallade efter presidenter. Som en kommentar på Reagans Facebooksida sa, kanske nästa gång, kunde flottan lägga till ett fjärde hangarfartyg till skrovbytet och komma på... USS Mount Rushmore. Flottan har visserligen USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), men det finns inget hangarfartyg för Jefferson. Så säg att vi sub i Reagan och komma med CVN 292. Ursäkter till USS Rushmore (LSD 47).
