Feelgood bullshit.
Totally in line with PC though.
Her struggle for recovery no more heroic or worthy of mention than that of millions of GI's across the centuries.

Littoral combat ship
Biggest POS that the USN has ever commissoned.
The list of how the LCS program has failed is ironic and, given the amount of taxpayers’ investment to date, shameful. In LCS, we have (1) a supposed warship that apparently can’t survive a hostile combat environment; (2) a program chosen for affordability that doubled in cost since inception and is subject to the risk of further cost growth as testing continues; (3) a ‘revolutionary’ design that somehow has managed to be inferior to what came before it on important performance measures; and (4) a system designed for flexibility that cannot successfully demonstrate its most important warfighting functions.

It's rather unseemly to name ships, monuments, building etc. after living current and former politicians.
The one exception is presidential libraries.
Oh, really?
So, surely this will bother you a lot, right?

Leave it to you hacks to assume that disapproval of one thing means approval of it.
Please find a post where I approved of naming either ship.
