Hopefully, at some point we will get to learn the various
names the sailors aboard call her.

Should be hilarious.

The name was announced in 2016. Trump's Pentagon had the opportunity to and didn't.

This isn't a new phenomenon brought in by Biden's handlers.

The US military became thoroughly pozzed during the Obama administration, and four years of Trump did nothing to reverse the process.

There needs to be a purge of the officer corps, complete with war crimes trials.
