An amphibious transport dock........hmmmm...I would think a sh*t-barge would have been better suited for him..
-
Maybe they will just rename one that they are about sink for a reef? ;D

There is a small discussion going on about that on a Navy forum i belong to. Pretty much echos what is said here. What a waste of a perfectly good ship.

Are we just giving it to al queda? >:( Forgive the sarcasm

Well, maybe the ship will be able to rise above the legacy of it's namesake and redeem it's name, even though it cannot salavage the man.

What is also sad is that one day there will be a ship named in honor of Obama (aircraft carrier?).

Yes but Obama would be a fitting name for an aircraft carrier. USS Obama, Destroyer of Nations. :'(

If he is, it'll be one of these!
The CVN 21 Program is the future aircraft carrier replacement program for USS Enterprise and CVN 68, or Nimitz class aircraft carriers. Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) was ordered from Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding Newport News on Sept. 10, 2008, and is scheduled to be delivered in 2015. The Gerald R. Ford Class will be the premier forward asset for crisis response and early decisive striking power in a major combat operation. Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carriers and carrier strike groups will provide the core capabilities of forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, maritime security and humanitarian assistance. The class brings improved warfighting capability, quality of life improvements for our Sailors and reduced acquisition and life cycle costs.

Oh, no....he's way too good for just a ship.....maybe the 'Obama Fleet'..........

I wouldn't worry about it too much, by the time BHO is done gutting the military budget, there won't be enough left to build a dingy. One thing about naming ships after politicians....the DOD remembers who supported them, and who castrated them.

Caught the sea-trials underway:

I thought perhaps a ragged out DC-3 for his airport, (up to 8 flights a day now?),....would also be appropriate.
Damn,....I forgot CR's advice and spoke ill about the departed.

I thought we had drifted to the Obummer fleet, so you are forgiven.

Very bad taste in my mouth, what a sorry Marine, maybe he stood up in combat, but I doubt it, name a garbage truck after him, not a ship. >:(

People change. There was, as we all know, Benedict Arnold.
Perhaps they could name targets used in testing weapons after Murtha and then use his nickname POS.

Please don't drop that load on garbage trucks... They perform a vital service and deserve greater respect. It would be more appropriate to name the garbage dump after the rat b@st@rd... With apologies to rat b@sr@rds everywhere. (There I go with that "ill of the dead" thing again. Sheesh)
