Are there any Navy ships named for women?
I can’t think of one.
Grace Hopper DDG-70
USS Jimmah Carter ....
Sadly, yes. Excerpt from article:
“He named a littoral combat ship after former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Arizona Democrat, who was seriously wounded in a January 2011 assassination attempt.”
US Navy named a ship after Gabby Giffords last year.
