WASHINGTON – Before then-President Donald Trump visited a US Navy base in Japan in 2019, his team asked officials to keep a ship named for one of Trump’s Republican rivals – the late Sen. John McCain – out of sight, newly released Navy emails confirm.
When reports of the White House request initially surfaced, Navy officials told reporters a painting tarp that obscured the ship’s name from view in the days before Trump’s visit was placed there for maintenance reasons – but the documents released Wednesday confirm that was untrue.
“The name of USS John S. McCain was not obscured during the POTUS visit to Yokosuka on Memorial Day,” then Navy Chief of Information Rear Adm. Charlie Brown said in a tweet on May 29, 2019. “The Navy is proud of that ship, its crew, its namesake and its heritage.”

And Obama had crosses covered when visiting Catholic schools. Trump is set off by the name McCain, Obama by the image of Our Lord. I can put up with Trump’s foible.

Why is a US navy ship named after McCain?
Does Audi Murphy have a ship named after him?

I doubt if the Germans are that fond of Audi Murphy.

Well, since Audi Murphy was an actual Hero, I'm definitely OK with a ship being named after him.
Since McCain was an actual Traitor, no way a ship should be named after him.

It was originally named after his father (Jr.) and grandfather (Sr.), Senator McCain III (D-Syria) was added shortly before he died in a rededication ceremony.
