Apparently you haven't read the latest directive, comrade. All new combat ships will be named for anti-gun heroines, as well as other liberal icons.
Wait until you see the USS Sarah Brady...

CVNs should never have been named after presidents. They were intended to be revolutionary war battles and warship names.
I don’t care what president we are discussing with the -sole possible- exception of George Washington.
Relax man...all magazines on the ship will be limited to 7 rounds.
USS Bergdahl is next.

Shouldn’t it be a Clittoral Combat Ship?
This crap has been going on since the summer of 1969 at least, when the new construction USS Redfish (SSN-680) was hastily renamed USS William H. Bates upon his death. When asked why this was acquiesced to, ADM Rickover famously replied: “Fish don’t vote!”
At least he was dead. The Post Office used to require for 15 years after death for a person other than a dead president to appear on a stamp but they scrapped that in 2011. It’s part and parcel of what’s wrong this country and represents the triumph of personalities over principles.
