There are rules for the naming of American Navy vessels and you should be active in the armed services, either as commander in Chief or in combat. Though not required, it is customary that the person the ship is named for is deceased

Agree about not naming anything at all to those who are alive. As far as Congress critters and politicians go, should only name any ship after a long deceased one who was a major proponent of seapower, the Navy, or Marines.
