Good grief... is right. It’s just not appropriate. Sure it’s horrible she was shot and terribly wounded, but that’s not the sort of thing that should be getting your name on a ship.
I think it is -really- creepy to be naming ships after living persons. I thought the same way about the USS GHW Bush. I’m fine with naming ships after Presidents, but not while they’re still alive. The USS Reagan didn’t bug me so much, if only because there had at least been more time since his term. I suppose that being so gravely ill, the timing seemed somewhat more reasonable. But generally speaking it just creeps me out.
It infuriates me to see local buildings with brass plaques with county commissioners or mayors on them. THEY DID NOT BUY THE BUILDING, FIELD, or whatever. TAX PAYERS BOUGHT IT!
Naming things after people should be held as an honor for after they are dead. What happens if you name this ship, then Gabby goes out and shoots a bunch of people or robs a bank? I know. Not likely, but still these things should wait until after the person is deceased, and everything good and bad is known. It is an honor that should be based on a lifetime.
BTW, if I ever ran for office, the HE$$ I would let anyone put my name on anything. If they did, I would have to deface it, even if it were a crime. I really hate wasted tax money on such narcissism and attempts to use incumbency to further their political careers.
