>>I wish we were as straightforward in our sub and ship naming.
When I served, SSBNs were named after great Americans, even if they weren’t technically American. Mine was Lafayette. So much better than naming them after states to suck up to politicians.
Of course if we named the after “great Americans” now, some poor submariners would be out sailing around in the Malcolm X or the USS The Kardashians.

Put her in the water on her back and she would NEVER sink!
