Let's see. The deficit, homeland security, healthcare, jobs? Naw, let's worry about naming ships.

They've named them after Senators before. I mean, there's one named after Ted Kennedy:

Personally, I liked the OLD naming conventions. Destroyers named for Marine and Navy heroes, Cruisers (Or SSN, really) named for cities, battleships (Now boomers) named for States, and Carriers named after old ships or battles. Keep the filthy politician names off of the ships.

President Trump can rename those ships to be more patriotic.

It’s an old communist tradition to plaster their names and visage on everything too.

Any sailors,
Is it bad luck to rename a ship?
To: ferret_airlift
Why not name ships after ships in the US Navy in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 —or maybe the Civil War? Keep the politics out of it-—what happens when one party is replaces by another? Will we have to change the names of the ships? Liberal claptrap shouldn’t be tolerated.

12 May 1939 USS Squalus (SS-192) During test dive the failure of the main induction valve caused the flooding of the aft torpedo room, both engine rooms, and the crew’s quarters, drowning 26 men immediately. Quick action by the crew prevented the other compartments from flooding. Squalus bottomed in 243 ft (74 m) of water. USS Sculpin (SS 191) discovered the sunken Squalus and assisted in the rescue of 33 survivors. Squalus was later raised, repaired, and renamed USS Sailfish.
04 December 1943, USS Sailfish torpedoed and sank IJN Chuyo. On board were 21 POWs, survivors of the sinking of USS Sculpin by the Japanese on 19 November 1943. 20 of them died.

I want a carrier as the USS Nixon. That’ll have them swallowing their tongues.

The USS Bruce Jenner: But the Navy can’t tell if it will be deployed as a submarine or an aircraft carrier.

When is the Navy going to name a ship after Harvey Milk? I am sure that it would be a simply fabulous ship to be stationed on. They could put disco balls in the messdeck.

The ships motto could be a Trojan rubber with the words "Condoms for All!" underneath it.
Getting the night watch would be simply irresistible.
The ships stern would be reinforced to take a continuous pounding.
