I agree completely. US Navy ship names are nothing short of horrible. They used to have some cool names back in WWII, like Wasp, Hornet, Enterprise, etc. They've kept Enterprise (there's a new Enterprise now planned to replace the now-decommissioned one). They had some cool submarine names way back too, like Nautilus, plus there used to be a bunch named after fish, which isn't too bad. But otherwise, over the last several decades, they just plain suck. The worst one ever is the carrier USS John C Stennis. WTF? They named a carrier after some dumb politician who was never even President, and all he did was get a lot of pork funding for military projects. He also got a Space Center named after him in Mississippi because he was good at this (and this was because he got the center placed there, even though there wasn't any really good logistical reason for it; they do NASA's rocket engine tests there. It's not anywhere near where the engines are actually launched from, it's just a pork project).
