Multiple high-ranking military officials, including retired Rear Admiral George Worthington, the former commander of the Naval Special Warfare Command, argued that an actual member of the military, such as Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer, would be a more appropriate recipient.
“Here is the issue. There are a lot of dead Marines out there whose names could go on anything that appears to be an amphibious ship,” Worthington said. We think fallen Marines and perhaps supporting sailors should go on fantails before random victims."

I have great respect for Ms. Giffords, but I agree with Adm. Worthington.

So before I blow my gasket (for the nth time today), could somebody;

I'd be okay with that as long as the ship was a large vacuum cleaner.

Maybe an oil spill response vessel designed to suck up the oil slick. If there isn't one yet, then DARPA needs to get busy inventing to make this name / ship combo happen.


As far as "USS Gabrielle Giffords"... wtf? That has to be a hoax.

This is the OBAMA Super carrier. Even my avatar above looks more dangerous.
