John S. McCain the ship

Post by DrewMatrix »

Looking it up because it was in the news today I found that the current DDG-56 and the old DL-3, both named "John S. McCain" were both named for both John S. McCains, Jr and Sr.

Is there any other current or former ship in the US Navy named for two people?

At least you speak perfectly 'Laconian', or laconical, to be more precise.

I would say Star Trek, but I believe those were Arconians.
