Do they still have the LPD classification?
I served on the USS Dubuque (LPD-8) back in the early 80s.

For some reason I think it would have been nice and appropriate that Deanna Favre christen The Green Bay. Deanna is a classy lady as well as a cancer survivor.
I certainly don't want to take away from the honest work of: "Rose Magnus, wife of the assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Magnus, is serving as the ship’s sponsor. In a time-honored Navy tradition, she will break a bottle of champagne across the ship’s bow to formally christen the ship. Gen. Magnus will deliver the ceremony’s principal address."
I just think that the good sailors that serve aboard her would appreciate the connect between The Green Bay and Deanna Favre.
