ship naming has been random and political since forever.
submariners used to call SSN 685 "lipscomb fish"...glenard p. lipscomb had nothing to do with the navy and did nothing but die as a congressman the year the ship was being named.
uss jimmy carter? the ex-secretary club (forrestal, john warner, thomas s. gates)?
