It would be odd if the Marine Corps predated the Navy for a few decades.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

TJ and JA were boomers.  Those names are available now.

No doubt Jefferson's fondest dream was that someday in the future his name would grace an underwater platform of nuclear devastation, controlled and directed by a vast federal bureaucracy.

Indeed.  Should have been named after someone not monstrous, like Alexander Hamilton.

...Oh.  They did that.  An SSBN, too.

Well, John Jay, I guess.

SSBN Curtis LeMay
SSNB Arthur Harris
SSBN Enola Gay
and finally
SSBN Bockscar

Just in case anybody thinks there are better names for boomers.

I'm conflicted about that.

And LeMay is tainted by his association with Governor Wheels.

They're all traitors.  All of them are monstrous.

George Wallace.  Segregationist Gov. who ran for Prez on the American Independent party ticket (now the Constitution party).  Was shot, and paralyzed.  Spent the rest of his life in a wheel chair.  LeMay was his VP pick.

USS James K. Polk.

We could use it to beat up on the Mexicans.

USS Millard Fillmore is more badass.
