This is so wrong, on so many levels. Murtha doesn't deserve a dog park named after him, let alone a US warship.
Also, every prior San Antonio-class LPD (I think there are 4 or 5 already in service and another 4 or 5 in construction) and prior-LPD class ships have been named after CITIES - you know, like San Antonio-class. Murtha is the first person to get a LPD named after him, breaking with Navy tradition.

It should be the first US ship scuttled even before the keel strikes the water. Directly after its bow is struck with a christening blow with a French Magnum chocked full of horse shit.

This is a direct violation of federal law, he has not been dead long enough. I guess I will go look it up.

Why not the USS Benedict Arnold?

If the Navy wants to put Murtha’s name on a garbage scow,that's OK with me-but not a warship.

OMG! Can you imagine being assigned to serve on this ship? Wonder what would happen if sailors refused to do that?

1. Choose a shipwreck on the bottom of the ocean. 2. Rename it the USS Murtha. 3. Never mention his name again.

That back stabbing POS Murtha doens’t rate having a latrine named after him.
I have contacted my Congressman and told him so.
I strongly suggest that everybody that loves our Marines do the same.
This injustice cannot be allowed to happen or to stand.

prior-LPD class ships have been named after CITIES If we absolutely have to honor the dorrupt and dishonorable old fart, how about they compromise on USS Johnstown?

Everything from the Nobel Prize awards to naming ships in the USN IS through a politically inspired liberal agenda.
The communists and their allies will soon name a ship “the USS Gay.” Nobody should mix up the time of naming a plane “Enola Gay” and nowadays hijacked language!
If we let the communist 0h0m0 stay beyond January 13, well see street names, buildings, museums, highways, etc. named after known homosexuals.
0h0m0s address may very well be at the corner of 1600 Alternative Lifestyle Ave and Transgender BLVD.
