Now that is class! We don't need to ruin the reputation of this entire class of ships to honor a dishonorable dead Congressman.
Thanks for the website IT. Great work!

You mean all nine ships are already in service? Seems like just a couple of years ago I was at the commissioning ceremony of the first of the class, the San Antonio at Naval Station Ingleside. George H.W. Bush was there. Either the ship builders have been extremely busy, or that was longer ago than I thought.
