Apparently you haven't read the latest directive, comrade. All new combat ships will be named for anti-gun heroines, as well as other liberal icons.
Wait until you see the USS Sarah Brady...
Sorry....This is wrong. Since when do we name ships after ordinary citizens...who are living no less.
Some CVNs were named for Presidents who were alive at the time they (the ships) were laid down. I thin Carl Vinson was still alive when that CVN was named for him, too. And there is the SSN USS Jimmy Carter (blech!). Don’t think it’s a good idea, but that’s politics.

Of course we all deeply regret that she was shot. But, it’s worth asking, what has she done in life, to have the honor of having a navy ship after her? I was surprised at this news.

This crap has been going on since the summer of 1969 at least, when the new construction USS Redfish (SSN-680) was hastily renamed USS William H. Bates upon his death. When asked why this was acquiesced to, ADM Rickover famously replied: “Fish don’t vote!”
At least he was dead. The Post Office used to require for 15 years after death for a person other than a dead president to appear on a stamp but they scrapped that in 2011. It’s part and parcel of what’s wrong this country and represents the triumph of personalities over principles.
