.Where else but the city of Indy, even though that had nothing to do with the actual making or manning of the ship....

Maybe some of the old sea dogs here can be more authoritarian on the subject but doesn't capitol ships like the USS Indianapolis have states and cities as official "sponsors" for lack of a better term? Hence the association with that state/city? >

Just putting it out there for consideration....

Interesting... but I hope the USS Jimmy Carter didn’t need you know who! And will there be a USS Barack Obama? (The jokes write themselves.)
