I personally have no problem with naming warships for people as long as they have served with honor. Ships like USS John Paul Jones, USS The Sullivans, etc.

I do have a problem with naming ships purely for political reasons such as USNS harvey milk, ceasar chavez, USS gabby giffords, etc.

Yes. I just saw where they are naming two ships for Lucy Stone and Sojourner Truth.

It isn’t so much that I have a problem with people like Sojourner Truth or Lucy Stone as much as I have an issue with the outright pandering. Grrrrrr.
