The Brits had their HMS Terror, Indomitable, Eagle & Warspite. The US had their USS Enterprise, Texas, Kidd, & Bonhomme Richard.

I guess the modern sailor finding himself (or herself) fighting aboard the Gabby Giffords is just another sign of the times.

I served on the USS Callaghan...One of the “Kidd” class DDG’s...

They have not recommissioned another (with that name) since then...

Don’t recall if they’ve renamed a Halsey or any other distintguished flag officer just yet...
