Pleasant surprise out of the Navy on the next Carrier. Managed not to name it Trump or an equally horrible name.

US Navy to name next Carrier after African American Pearl Harbor Hero
- Thread starter antonz
- Start date
My first thought as well. Here comes the Robert E Lee name instead.
I like this mlk timing a lot better than the Michelle Obama birthday pizza betrayal.
USS Rihanna. She saved us from alien destruction.

I had no idea his character was based on a real person
Cool, but don't be surprised if Trump tries to stop it. See: Tubman
I would call it a trend more than a tradition. Historically the vast majority are not named after Presidents

At the time didn't he get reprimanded for not properly operating the water cooling mechanism, leading to damage of the gun?
I doubt there'll be much mainstream conversation but I'ma help them with a messaging shortcut,
"Of course we should celebrate the sacrifices of colored folk but it's also important to respect the naming traditions of navy vessels and an aircraft carrier, per rules outlined in section 1531 must follow certain guidelines - The vessels of the Navy shall be named by the Secretary of the Navy under direction of the President according to the following rule: Sailing-vessels of the first class shall be named after the States of the Union, those of the second class after the rivers, those of the third class after the principal cities and towns and those of the fourth class as the President may direct. While exceptions may be made for Senators only frigates may be named after NCOs, enlisted men or Thugs, Dehumanizing Student Athletes, Cadillac Welfare Queens, Octaroons and below. Aircraft Carriers must be named after battles, with the exception of the Kennedy and Enterprise and the proposed Hyper Starcarrier, USS The Donald.
We wish there was a way to make an exception but president Trump as you know is a strict traditionalist on these matters. And has even declined a ship in honor of the late congressman John Dingell, but only because he is possibly in hell*" - Whitehouse.gov
* many people are saying
No, certainly not. He was given a commendation and then awarded the Navy Cross.
He won't because its one less carrier that could carry his name, he will hate it.
Now if it was
Trump would try to pull all the funding out.
Stephen Miller's gonna whisper in those fecal infested orange ear canals, soon.
Should the naming go without a hitch, then good on the Navy.

Y'all dumb to think there'll be pushback for this.
This is the type of thing they use to say they're not racist

Obama is getting a fleet of drones named after him 😉
Exactly, if anything Trump will lean into it and say how great it is to show how not racist he is.
Otherwise very happy with the move, from what I read his story played a pretty big part in getting the Navy integrated.
Nah, he'll just insist that they move a destroyer in front of the carrier so he doesn't have to see it during the commissioning ceremony.
To be honest, I did not know this guy was real. I only knew the bullet points of the attack and that movie always came across as 100% bullshit. That's awesome that it's not only real, but that this hero of our country gets recognized for it.
" I need u like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need u like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He's way better than Ben Affleck "

Trump.
And Racists. White supremacists. The degenerates that support him. Which comprise a large portion of every branch in the US military.
Did you miss the freak out over Harriet Tubman or something?
Nah. As others have said, trump will
Use this as a 'see, I'm not racist' tactic.
If it's military related, they do generally support their own. I don't think that Trump is that stupid, but who knows.
Looks like this republican congressman has been trying for 30 years:
Trump support in the military perfectly aligns with the gender ratios (male support for trump in the civilian population and military population is like 55-60 percent, female support for trump is more like 30-35 percent) just so happens that there's more men in the military.
If it was 50-50 it'd be exactly the same as gen pop
Hate the anti-military-member comments on here all the time.
When has Trump ever care about that shit? where is this stuff coming from.
What?
Trumps a huge fan of tokenism and being able to point and his own achievements, and of course he would point at this during an election year and say "I did that"
