While I’m tempted to make a crack or two about the likely attributes of a ship named after John McCain, I won’t out of respect for her crew. They can’t help it their ship has such a crappy name.
The ship is named after the Senator’s admiral father, who was commander of pacific forces in Vietnam, and his admiral grandfather, who was on the Missouri when Japan surrendered and passed away immediately after returning home from the war.
The ship is names for Admiral McCain the Sen’s grandfather and Admiral McCain the Sen’s father.
Both Adm’s who served with honor.
McCain’s father (the person the ship was named for) wasn’t a RINO.
Speaking of crappy names, spare a thought for the bubbleheads aboard SSN23...
