I’m hoping for the USS Joseph McCarthy, but I may end up disappointed.

A decent, humble and GOOD politician would encourage the Navy NOT to name a ship after him, but since there is no such type of man who is a Democrat, let HIS EGO have a feeding frenzy.

At least he didn’t name it the Saul Alinsky. Or the Karl Marx. At least not yet.

F&^k. 9 years chairing the Armed Services committee does not qualify this guy. I wouldn't even dream of asking the Navy to name a ship after Phil Gramm or any of my other favorite past Senators unless they had served in the Navy with distinction.
This is total crap. I would love to see the next President direct that the ship be renamed--but that is "not how the game is played" in Washington.

We cut Jimmy Carter some slack because he was a submariner, and almost a nuclear submariner, but asked to get out of the Navy from the Seawolf Prototype in New York. ADM Rickover did visit him in the White House. Would have loved to hear that interview. ;-)

Should be a battleship that fires broadsides to starboard.

The crew should be encouraged to call it the “Mark” Levin. Hey guys, I am getting ready to sail on the Great One.

Too bad they won't name it the
L. Bruce Laingen. That might annoy the Iranians...

This naming a ship after a politician who never served a damn day is a terrible slight to many heroes in all branches not to mention former Navy and Marine types.

Maybe Carl can die before the christening so that at least that rule will be followed.
