Here are a few names that need to come back:
USS Saratoga
USS Wasp
USS Ticonderoga
USS Hornet
USS Yorktown
USS Lexington
USS Bunker Hill
USS Independence
USS America
USS Midway
USS Coral Sea
and many, many, many others. Ships that had pride, prestige and fight.
Naming a ship after a weasel is a non-starter for me. (spit).
My Dad served on the U.S.S. Dixie during WWII - imagine giving a new vessel that name today.
Unfortunately, carriers are almost obsolete; and we probably never again will see the numbers we once had.
They have become trillion$ targets...
...and then there's the necessity to surround them with another trillion$ of support ships.
But the basic objection to politicizing the naming of capital ships still holds.
Perhaps, fittingly, garbage scows can be reserved for failed or treasonous politicians.
The USS Midway is docked in San Diego - you can even go aboard; they have a great naval museum aboard.
