If they must name a ship for her then one of these deathtraps is probably the right one.

Couldn’t the Navy have named this ship after somebody who deserves it like a Medal of Honor recipient?

The ship was named several years ago during Obastard’s reign so it was probably named by his SecDef or SecNav.

Accordingly, it will carry no weapons. It’s crest is the white flag. So in other words... it will be crewed solely with persons of French descent?
