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?

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 USS Walter Mondale is a laundry ship.

Seriously though, Carl Levin? Terrible choice.
