Warships should be feared, not named in honor of cities.

I know they have a nuclear attack sub called the U.S.S. Honolulu. How does that look, having a nuclear attack sub off your shore launching nukes at you with the name of the "Aloha" state?

we do have a Ronald Reagan ship coming up. Carrier.

should be no surprise. He's the one that really built up the navy in the 80's. He wanted a 600 ship navy. A bit excessive. But he did move the navy out of the dark ages.

Why wouldn't you want a ship named after bush? It could go along way toward combating stereotypes about the Navy unless of course you like Cheney better.

Why would a capital ship in space have thier bridge so exposed? Much less why would a single ship crashing into said bridge disable the ship so totally?
