Yep - I bet there are some GREAT ship names in that bunch. Some of them might even have approached 'statesman' status at my kitchen table.

I will start with Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician Senior Chief Petty Officer Kraig Vickers (

Rickair I don't say this to poke back at you, but the idea that our nation is honoring a congresswoman by naming a war ship after her is a slap in the face to heros like Kraig and those who have gone before and after him. IMHO it is ludicrous!
