USS James K. Polk.

We could use it to beat up on the Mexicans.

I don't care about naming them after Presidents, but why name another one after Kennedy?

How about the USS Abraham Lincoln, or USS John Adams or even Thomas Jefferson?
Why have 2 USS Lincolns?

Possibly fiftieth anniversary of his Presidency?

But I agree.  I'd also suggest not naming anything after anyone until they've been dead for at least 100 years.
Let's bomb Russia!

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

They could name the naval brothel ship the "USS Clinton".

Don't tell me the navy lacks brothel ships ...  :(

Don't know whether the RCN has one or not (it is the RCN again, isn't it?).

Probably have to make do with the back of a Sea King helicopter. It's always in the shop for repairs, alas.  ;)

What we as a country really lack, is Prime Ministers with truly entertaining sex scandals to name it after ...

Is there anymore dramatic evidence of the cultural difference between French Canadians and the French?

I don't thing the French are actually capable of a sex scandal. To be a scandal, someone has to be scandalized.  ;)

Whatever the RN named it after before they decide the ship is obsolete and sell it to the RCN for a pittance?

This calls for a seamen/semen joke referring to the phallic shape of the Virignia Class submarine and it's ability to disgorge semen through a hole (torpedo tube) in it's front.
