If it is anything like the city, it’ll sink like a stone
Agree. Names should be inspiring, not depressing.
The USS Rodman works for me, not to Sully the image of a once proud liberal union enclave that snuggled with the mob and the NBA.
I grew up in Detroit. I may have to make the 4 hour trip down there to see this amazing vessel.

"Why not accept that manufacturing is gone from this country? Why not let the rust and weeds finish what they started? Why not just embrace the era of disposability? And why didn't we buy a warmer coat before we moved here? Through three Detroit winters, we’ve asked ourselves these questions. And worked not to find our answer, but to build it. Because we don't think American manufacturing ever failed for being too good. Our worst didn't come when we were at our best. It happened when we thought good was good enough. It's a tall order to return to form, but we're up for it. We’re starting with the reinvigoration of a storied American brand, and a storied American city. Because we believe in the beauty of industry. The glory of manufacturing. We know there’s not just history in Detroit, there is a future. It’s why we are here. Making an investment in skill, at scale. Creating a community that will thrive through excellence of craft and pride of work. Where we will reclaim the making of things that are made well. And define American luxury through American quality."
Detroit is now an artist colony and because of the new governor a leader in american manufacturing. Low taxes.
