MiloMorai Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 He has already had a USN ship named for him, USS Miller (FF-1091), originally (DE-1091) was a Knox-class destroyer escort

MiloMorai Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Legioneod said: Yes but it's no longer in service. There has been 2 USS Sullivans, DD-537 and DDG-68, both destroyer type vessels.
Legioneod Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Just now, MiloMorai said: There has been 2 USS Sullivans, DD-537 and DDG-68, both destroyer type vessels. So, there have been 8 USS Enterprise with another yet to be commissioned. Just because a name has been used in the past doesn't have any effect on if it is used in the future.

Tyberan Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 I think it better then naming them after presidents.

Most of Texas used to be considered southern but nowadays it's usually just east Texas depending on where you are from. Edited January 24, 2020 by Legioneod
