Much that was considered comedy in the 1960s is reality in 2015.

The only combat ship in existence with utterly no armaments.

And a huge gaping hole in the command center.

[GreyFriar]

too bad the Navy has again broken the tradition of naming ships after DECEASED naval heroes by naming on after a LIVING POLITICIAN.

And I ask, what is/was her relationship to the Navy?

[GreyFriar]

Other than marrying a sailor????

[central_va]

Do you have to ask? this is just another attempt at demoralizing the US military.

[knarf]

Is it painted pink ?

[shalom aleichem]

sickening

[Cowboy Bob]

She also bankrupted her family’s business.

[central_va]

This is an in your face demoralizer. Naming a warship after a gun grabbing second amendment hater. The irony is not lost.

[Lazamataz]

Disregard previous post. Thought this was a response on a different thread. LOL

[knarf]

Thanx ... I was still tryin’ to put that together

(Runnin’ for President can get confusin’, sometimes)

[Wait till they name one after Caitlin.]

It would have to be ‘transfitted’ into a gay cruise ship.

We do seem to treasure victimhood these days... and cultures tend to get more of what they hold dear. Hmmm.

To be politically correct shouldn’t the Headline read Congressperson???

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Oh man, that’s great. I’m going to use it.

To be politically correct shouldn’t the Headline read Congressperson???

I just naturally assumed that the person in question had now become a congressMAN (after being an ex-congresswoman).

I’m still advocating naming ships after real warriors. How about the USS Crazy Horse? I seem to recall a Civil War era ship named for Chief Tecumseh.

[Lumper20]

Unreal. A ship named after this woman is a disgrace.
