U.S. Navy to Name Ship after Gay Activist

keep watching the tail wag the dog.

will this name prevent the ship from functioning? will it prevent the crew from serving with honor and doing their duty?

It would be embarrassing to some to have to serve on this thing.

oh, well if it's embarrassing...

again, will the name of the ship keep it from functioning? Will the words written on the side of the ship keep it's crew (even the embarrassed ones) from serving with honor and doing their duty?

You are missing the point.

Naming the ship after someone who did more than advocate a personal choice and lifestyle.

you're missing the point. it's the name on the side of a ship. Nothing about that will have any direct impact on the people on board.

I disagree. It will have an adverse impact on some.

Again ... Has NOTHING to do with whether or not the ship's name will affect the mission it is tasked with.

The point you are missing is that they named the ship after someone who did little more than to advocate his personal lifestyle choice.
