The replacement ship will probably have a new name.
The same name might be bad luck.

“The same name might be bad luck.”

I think that’s very superstitious.

NO!

Do you know the history of that name? She is named for Ben Franklin and the French who gave us the ship to fight the Revolution with. John Paul Jones was her first commander.

Unless Trump’s loss put’s us in the post-USA (in all but name) category, the name should always live on.

LHD-6 was the U.S. Navy's fifth ship named Bonhomme Richard.

You can bet there will be a sixth.
