There was a USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was CV-42, and was originally to be called the Coral Sea, but FDR dies shortly before the christening, and the Navy changed the name.

There's a USS Roosevelt now, named after FDR. It's an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, DDG-80, homeported in Mayport.

Know why DDG-80 is USS Roosevelt and not USS Franklin D. Roosevelt like CV-42?

Because it's named after Eleanor too. The P.C. Navy at its best.
