The USS ''Hillary Clinton'', or the '''Big Hill''' as she is affectionately known to her complement, is a fictional George Bush Class supercarrier which is the center of much of the action in John Birmingham 's Axis Of Time Trilogy. It is named after the late Hillary Clinton , the assassinated 44th President Of The United States .

At the time of the books, she is commanded by an offscreen Captain Guy Chandler, who is killed in what becomes known as the Transition . Command is assumed by her Taskforce commander Admiral Phillip Kolhammer . Admiral Kolhammer soon turns over command to the ship's Executive Officer , Commander Mike Judge, who is subsequently promoted to captain. Shortly after Judge takes command, the ''Clinton'' sails into San Francisco Naval Shipyard to be stripped down and have her damage repaired.

When the ''Hillary Clinton'' returns to sea after two years, under the command of Captain Judge and Admiral Kolhammer as part of Admiral Raymond Spruance 's Combined Pacific Task Force, she has been refitted with 1960s era technology.
