Enterprise will probably be renamed before launch as soon as another prominate politician drops dead and his party will rush to honor him (or her). [:(]


just curious, is there a big ship in the USN named after a woman?

USS Hopper (DDG-70) is the biggest I can think of.

List of U.S. military vessels named after women

This list may be incomplete; there were four US Navy ships named for Pocahontas, including a second-rate steam sloop that served in combat during the American Civil War.

Also, as I mentioned in the other thread, I think that renaming is unlikely, because there would be a huge push-back from the Navy, IMO.
