    Completely concur with the depoliticization of ship naming. But the principle has to stand two years from now when if Republicans want to name a ship after, say, Rush Limbaugh. Except for Medal of Honor recipients who never entered political life, no future ships named after anyone who has not been dead at least 50 years.

    Yep, not a fan out of politicizing names of warships.
    It has a vibe of its more about a political effort, group of people, and politicians with a cause outside the military (even if justified).
