Nice lines.
Does it have vertical launch tubes built into the flight deck like the Admiral Kuznetsov ?

The LEFT .. has their way with naming ships after people that the RIGHT didn’t feel were actually qualified to be considered the name of a ship: The recent “Murtha” ship comes to mind.

Mabus sparked a similar controversy last year when he named ships after labor leader Caesar Chavez, who served in the Navy for two years during his late teens, and nearly-assassinated congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Supporters of Mabuss naming practices have noted that, in the past, ships have been named after people like aviator Amelia Earhart and civil rights leader Medgar Evers.And a push for USS Harvey Milk

It’s bad luck to re-name a ship but worse luck to serve on a ship named for a rabid anti-2A politician!
This is a no-win situation created by the Libtards.

I thought the rule used to be that anyone after whom a Naval vessel was named had to be dead. When did Giffords pass away?
