Maybe it isn't but it if Trump tears it up in his first term an America actually begins to look out for its citizens then the insult to the people that made it happen should be acknowledged.

I would also like USS Infidel or USS Gaijin because nothing is more powerful that wearing the insults of you enemies as a badge of honor. To help make my case there were three US Navy ships named after the British derogatory term for American colonials:

    USS Yankee (1861), a steam-powered sidewheel tugboat in commission from 1861 to 1865
    USS Yankee (1892), an auxiliary cruiser and transport used in the Spanish–American War and in commission from 1898 to 1899, from 1903 to 1906, and in 1908
    USS Yank (SP-908) (1917), an armed motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919.
