If that title sounds like click-bait, it's because it was.
In case you dont want to read the article: USS Wisconsin Yeah, we're back to States again. |

Better to have states than politicians. But, the USS Eugene B. Fluckey or the USS Howard Gilmore or the USS Edward Beach, etc., would be even better. |

I have been waiting until the Election is over before doing this as some Senators/House members have changed. I am going on a crusade to name them after our Medal of Honor awardees (two already have a DDG named for them. Then down to the list Navy Cross winners. We have one who had 5 Navy Crosses and several with 4. I would be proud to serve on the Fluckey, etc. but not some blowhard Senator or even Presidents, or National Parks, or whatever. I will come up with a letter for your Congressional people and SecNav, etc and get it to you and where you can find their addresses!

I served on an inventor, a president and 2 fish. Sounds kind of weird when you put it that way. But, I agree with your sentiments, entirely. |

At least you didn't ride a South American General and a Senator ;)
