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.  Thumbs Up

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 ;)
