Well they started the trend in naming boats after politicians in the 637 class (Bates, Rivers, Russell and the one-off Lipscum). Ever since the naming has never stayed with the class scheme. Even the Ohio class has the Henry Jackson.

I'd love it if they'd go back to naming attack boats after fish. Names like Barb, Pintado, Gudgeon etc. just sound so much better.

have to say I agree with you there. Something with that much sheer power for destruction, that's next to impossible to find, should be named after something that naturally inhabits the water *L*.
