The first starship of the new Space Force should be named the ‘USS Rush Limbaugh’.

(yes, I know the role of the Space Force is currently ground-based. But one day ...)

However it would be MUCH better policy to name ships after concepts and animals rather than people: alive or dead.

‘USS Constitution’, “USS Enterprise”, ‘HMS Astute’, “HMS Terror” - these are great ship names that stand the test of time.

But if personal names are persisted with, you know that one day there’s going to be a battleship named “USS Hilary Rodham Clinton”.

The flagship of the task force is the aircraft carrier USS Hillary Clinton, named after "the most uncompromising wartime president in the history of the United States".
