Are the ship’s guns ever going to be fired? They might hurt someone.

One can think of a many more deserving folks, like Congressional Medal of Honor winners who sacrificed for the country. Too bad this happened to the congresswoman, but let’s face it she is a political hack who was shot by a deranged individual who was on the street largely due to her party’s political correct agenda

Naval ships and federal buildings should not be named for the living.

You could wait for a Secretary of Defense to conveniently kill himself, then name a super-carrier after him: ie. Forrestal. Navy pandering has been going on for a long time.

I think they just thought Jimmah was going toes-up before it was commissioned.

I was talking to a US Navy vet after church this morning—he was livid over this. He wondered if the next one would be named after Jane Fonda.

I was a Marine; not a squid, but I would not want to serve aboard that ship, it might get shot in the head.

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

Regards,

Your Correct!!

"He wondered if the next one would be named after Jane Fonda."

Apparently there have been few or no recent target barges that lack for a name.
