Forget about Gabby or whatever her name is simmply because she forgot to duck she is entitled to have a ship name after her. This is the real woman who deserve to have a ship name after her:

Army Pfc. Lori Ann Piestewa
Died March 23, 2003 Serving During Operation Iraqi Freedom

The first Native American female to died if you all recall.
USS PIESTEWA =)

Pfc. Lori Piestewa was the daughter of a Vietnam veteran and the granddaughter of a World War I veteran. She was a source of pride for Tuba City, Ariz., a town of 8,200 people on the Navajo Reservation but close to Hopi land.
