The other LCS class ships have names like Freedom and Indepence. This reminds me of ship named for Cesar Chavez when all of the other ships in that class were named for explorers like Robert Peary, Lewis and Clark, Alan Shepherd. Now I would not be surprised if they name an aircraft carrier after Barbara Boxer.
Lucky for her, I guess, that the ship wasn’t a destroyer. I’ll wait patiently to see the shoulder patch. Maybe the boat will be an escort for the Jimmah Carter? Sounds like Obamuzzie is building a hanger fleet?-—launched, parked, and never seen again.
There was a USS Boxer aircraft carrier. The current USS Boxer (LHD-4) is the sixth U S warship to carry that name.
