On January 8, 2009, the Secretary of the Navy announced it would name the next Virginia-class submarine after John Warner. USS John Warner (SSN-785) will be the twelfth Virginia-class submarine.

On February 19, 2009 the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., announced that Queen Elizabeth II would name John Warner an honorary Knight Commander for his work strengthening the American-British military alliance.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or life:

    But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
