Future Independence-class littoral combat ship USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10) successfully completed its acceptance trials Nov. 18.
The trials consisted of a series of in-port and underway demonstrations for the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV).
Acceptance trials are the last significant milestone before delivery of the ship to the Navy. During the trials, the Navy conducted comprehensive tests of the LCS intended to demonstrate the performance of the propulsion plant, ship handling, and auxiliary systems.

Following delivery and commissioning in Galveston, Texas, LCS 10 will sail to California to be homeported in San Diego with sister ships USS Independence (LCS 2), USS Coronado (LCS 4), USS Jackson (LCS 6), and USS Montgomery (LCS 8).

USS Bernardine Dohrn, USS Bill Ayres, USS Abbie Hoffman, USS George McGovern, USS Wayne Morse, USS Jane Fonda, USS Tom Hayden, USS Bobby Seale, USS John Kerry, USS Hillary Clinton, USS Huey P. Newton, USS Stokely Carmichael, USS H. Rap Brown, USS Angela Davis, USS Soledad Brothers, USS Charles Manson, USS Squeaky Fromme, USS Treasonweasel since every class of ships needs a name.
Either that or the guns and rockets will only fire when aimed at the US its assets or its allies.
Bill Clinton assumed office while having most of those characteristics.

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.
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.
Ping.
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?
You know and I know it was because of PC BS.
