Is there a word for this? Yes. It’s an abortion.

Garbage scow maybe.
How about the USS Obama with a 100% gay crew?
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

To: Libloather
A dinghy maybe. But not a warship. Fat Jack didn’t “believe” in war.

I can also see a USS Code Pink in the Navy’s future.

Garbage scow maybe. The garbage scow is a useful, even necessary vessel for proper harbor operation. It should not be dishonoured with murtha's name.

“It comes down to two points,” says military historian James Caiella. “Who and what we are as Americans, and what symbols do we want to represent those ideals?” Wrong. It comes down to “How can we get a bigger budget out of Congress?” Otherwise, SSNs would be named after fish, just like WWII SSs (and the USS Nautilus). CGs would be named after cities, CVNs after famous ships or battles (Enterprise, Saratoga, Yorktown), etc.

If they do name the ship after Murtha, they’ll probably have to adjust the navigation system to prevent it from always trying to redeploy to Okinawa.

Change the name of an existing nondescript sort of vessel such as a barge or something of that nature to Murtha if it’s so damned important to have his name on a naval vessel, and then sink it as a reef off the coast of Louisiana, or someplace to improve fishing.
Probably be the only positive thing associated with the bastard.

"Name a ship after a congressman who disgraced himself by rushing to judge that fellow Marines had committed murder in Iraq?" No way, shape or form this should happen, it's outrageous.
Ray Mabus is a disgrace for even considering this, let alone actually going through with naming this ship for a corrupt, lying politician.
