Ummm. maybe they saw the light, realized it was high time to honor
an African American, decided to right a wrong, and all that good
stuff. That would reflect good on them.
Maybe.

Either that, or: maybe they looked up who's the next prez after
Ford, and found it was His Leftie Cluelessness Jimmy "I didn't
inhale" Carter. Then, from the lowest admiral to SECNAV up to
POTweeTUS, they all had a cow. A herd of cows. And they decided it
was an urgent priority to take action. Nyah.


Ummm?

Mmmmm...ya Dov...Carter...graduate of the Naval Academy! Who
announced “I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate
all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce
of marijuana.”

Try Clinton who said, “When I was in England, I experimented with
marijuana a time or two, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale and
never tried it again,”.

Apparently he preferred it baked in his brownies...



At least all of the abover were IN the
Navy. For awhile there the Navy was naming
ships after politicians like John Stennis
and Carl Vinson who merely threw money at
the navy budget regardless of their naval
background and even lack of it.



I've read that the Navy is running out of well known people to name
their ships after...


I liked the WWII practice: Battleships
named after states, cruisers named after
cities, carriers named after battles, DE's
and DDE's named after captians, submarines
named after fish.
