>>Giffords was badly wounded in a 2011 shooting that left six dead
If her husband has an ounce of decency (since he’s her puppeteer), he would have insisted they name it after the judge or the little girl who died. I assume they have names, even though the media didn’t really bother to name them after the first day.
Its all about “poor Gabby”—the one who SURVIVED to become the new James Brady.

Does the ship have any weapons?
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
So we have a ship loaded with Guns named for a Gun Grabber.
They should have named a rowboat after her.

We have been at war since 2001. Tens of thousands maimed and killed. What did she do to deserve this more than others who were wounded in battle?

Not a surprise the ship is named for a gun control activist, they named a ship for the corrupt Murtha also.

We need to name a warship after a gun grabbing politician like we need a hole in the head.

Honestly, to me, that is enough. She was shot because she was serving her country. I might not agree with the exact form that service took, and I certainly don’t agree with all of the ideas she expressed in that, but to me that is the bottom line.
I don’t see any reason to name a ship after her - thousands of others have been shot in the service of their country who will never get anything like that level of acknowledgement, but in a world where there are crazy people who will go after a politician just because they are a politician, I do think there is some courage and honour in choosing that path if you do it because you want to make your country better (whether I agree with what you want to do or not).
Fully expecting and even welcoming any negative comments that come my way on this. But I think one massive problem in modern politics is a failure to respect everything about our opponents, just because we have real disagreements with them on some issues.
