And imagine being assigned to USS Gabriel Giffords, not named after a naval hero, or any military hero, of which there are many, but a short term nobody congresscritter who happened to be a hapless victim of the gun free bullshit?
And no urinals? So now 5000 sailors have to stand in line, waiting for expensive, high maintenance toilets to come free instead of walking up to cheap troughs, just so women can serve?
I can't believe that cost saving bullshit about no urinals - it's more like "we can't offend and discriminate against [pick your victim class] so we'll remove the offending/discriminating article".
Arghh...

I would suggest taking the Jimma Karta or the Gerry Ford and renaming them to. . . .

Real "power projection" is a United States Marine with his boot on your enemy's neck.

And for good measure, repeal Davis-Bacon while we're at it, so we can revive the US shipbuilding industry.
