Why on earth would they name a boat after a living a$$hole?
You never know what the damn fool will do next.
May be named after pappy McCain, or even grandpappy.
It isn’t named after him. It’s named after his father and grandfather.
You really think the ship is named for Sen. McCain? Really?
She's a ship, not a boat, and her namesakes are very dead.

He is a screw up and a disgrace but his father and grandfather were both Admirals , both were named John McCain.
The ship was named after both Admirals and not the Senator .
It was named after his father...
FYI ..... the ship is named from Admiral John McCain who commanded Naval Aviation in the Pacific during WW II.
That included Marine Squadron 214 of Black Sheep fame.
It was named after his Father or Grandfather, both admirals, also named John McCain.
Named after McCain’s grandfather (who commanded Navy air assets in the Pacific during WWII), and his father, who was CINCPAC while Johnny was in the Hanoi Hilton.
McCain’s father and grandfather were honorable men who served the country faithfully and honorably. Can’t say the same about the Senator.
Named after his father (and grandfather?)
I think it after their grandfather, who by all accounts, was a crusty sailor but loved by his men, and who fell on his sword for Admiral Halsey.
