I do not like the idea of naming our carriers after Presidents and politicians. I would prefer the classics, like Lexington and Hornet.

THIS!!! There are fewer carriers than ever, so all the classic Revolutionary war names should be used. Its disgusting to name a ship after a politician... no exceptions post WWI. Probably post Spanish American war.

I full agree with you, no politician should be the subject of hero worship.

A landlubber here, but I could not help but feel disgust at “USS Gabrielle Giffords.”
Bring back the names of US Navy “ships of the line.” Thanks.
