**SNIP**
That purpose was never fully realized. Yes, the announcement of the web page’s existence was followed a storm of petitions, but many of them called for Obama’s impeachment or demanded that states be permitted to secede from the union.

Change 3 letters and add 1 and I'm onboard with it...: )
What about Boaty McBoatface?
Alternately, “U.S.S. Deplorable” sounds nice.
They won’t do it. That’s what the wardroom has called the enlisted men for 200 years.

No. Politics should not become part of nameing ships.
Love it!!
The only vessel that the US Navy should commission under his name is a bathtub with a rubber ducky in it...
I like it, too. (Sort of like “the dirty dozen”)
I’m not a fan of trendy names, disrespectful names, or politicizing the naming of ships. I think cooler heads will prevail and it won’t happen. Despite all that, I still kind of like it. Maybe the crew of the next ship can nickname themselves “the Deplorables”. That might be even more effective.
Oh Puhlease! The Dems would name it the USS Fudgepacker in a heartbeat.
