The Navy Secretary, Ray Maybus, has decided that maybe naming ships after his buddies isn’t such a good idea and maybe he’ll start naming them after more traditional stuff according to the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, under fire from Congress and veterans for naming ships after fellow Democrats and social activists, plans to announce another round of ship names in the near future that will be more traditional, a Pentagon official tells The Washington Times.<\/p>\n

The official said Mr. Mabus has chosen names for five surface ships – three for war heroes and two for locations. Ships typically are named after states and cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they would be more consistent with what most people would say traditions and naming conventions are,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

Asked whether this was a response to criticism, the official said: \u201cIt isn\u2019t. I think if you look at these five additional ships, I think you\u2019ll see examples that are very traditional.\u201d The official said three ships would be named after highly decorated Navy or Marine Corps personnel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was the subject of a discussion I had earlier this week with Captain Larry Bailey who has founded No Murtha Ship<\/a>. He’s asking for your help. <\/p>\n

Our two TAH insurgents on Capitol Hill have tried to influence their bosses to get on board the No Murtha Ship. Their advice was for you folks to contact the members of the House Armed Services Committee (there are 61 members) and express your displeasure at Mabus’ habit of naming ships after any old clown. The members are listed at this link<\/a>. For some reason I can’t get the actual website of the Committee to come up this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
