“USS John McCain”

This is the first time I;ve heard of a ship named after an traitor idiot other than Giffords. I would suffice they would rather kill themselves than have that name on the ship.

The ship is named after his father and grandfather, both of whom Navy Admirals.

As I posted when this crap happened:

In 2003, SWOSDOC (Surface Warfare Officers Course) was shuttered, largely for financial reasons,,,,,,,,
officers went directly from commissioning sources to their ships with only a packet of computer disks........
Now it was incumbent on the ship’s CO to replace a year’s worth of intensive dawn-to-dusk training, in addition to his or her other considerable responsibilities

Bringing back the SWOSDOC would be a good start

They should have named it the “USS NotTheSeniorSenatorFromArizona”.

It was actually John S. McCain who was his father and a WW II admiral.
