I remain opposed to naming US Fleet units after politicians, living or dead.

I would have been willing to make exceptions for Washington and Lincoln, except that it was perfectly foreseeable that this would lead to the Ford, the Reagan, and the HW Bush, not to mention Carl Vinson and John C. Stennis.

And, once you concede Ford, Reagan, and HW Bush, you make the USS William J. Clinton and the USS Barack Hussein Obama inevitable. Once you concede Vinson and Stennis, you have to have the USS Charles Rangel and the USS Harry Reid.

We should have stuck with battles for aircraft carriers (or, given the fact that they replaced BBs as ships of the line, states).

I suppose it’s too late to do anything about this now, but it was wrong the first time, and it still is.

The USS Harvey Milk is coming.

Especially since he did serve in the Navy.
