    There needs to be a minimum standard for relevance in the naming of vessels, monuments, and public facilities.

    Where I live, they named a highway that bypasses the town after the person who blocked the highway's construction for almost 40 years because it would negatively affect her business holdings in the downtown.

    Because she was a politically active republican, they rewrote history to honor her as a champion of economic development for supporting the project after it finally started.

    End irrelevant rant.

    We need a ship called "USS False Flag".

    and with foreign registry.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    We don't need a clittoral combat ship. Not unless we are decommissioning on a 2 to 1 and reducing personnel accordingly.

    With this ship we will kill many terrorists and bring freedom to the people of the shores.

    Following the commissioning, Jill Biden, the ship's sponsor and wife of former Vice President Joe Biden, gave the time-honored Navy tradition of ordering the crew to "man our ship and bring her to life!"


    She is "ready" to be "boarded" and/or "manned"

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Must be an ugly ship if they won't show a picture of it what it looks like.

    You're one of the greatest of Americans. They need to name a ship after you.

    Pretty much, actually. It's a glorified speedboat (at half a billion each).

    Overpriced and useless...

    ...aptly named.

    I wonder what kind of helicopter it has in it's hanger.

    After checking.... it looks like it has two of these.
