A U.S. Navy ship named after former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will be commissioned in a waterfront ceremony in Galveston, Texas, on Saturday.
The Gabrielle Giffords is an Independence-class littoral combat ship. It is the 10th littoral combat ship in the Navy, the 16th Navy ship named after a woman and the 13th ship named after a living person, according to a Navy video released on Friday.

That is the stupidest decision the Navy ever made!

I would hope its unarmed without any guns.
Guns are bad.
Gabby used to like the military rifles.
Her husband bought one on the downlow just so he could after being exposed, turn it in brand new to a sheriffs office to keep everyone safer.
