I guess there was a naming ceremony yesterday in Detroit, and of course, the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus was on hand for the ceremony. Levin has been involved in Detroit and Michigan politics since 1968 and never served a day in the Navy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you haven&#8217;t heard, the Navy is naming it&#8217;s newest Arleigh Burke-class destroyer after US &hellip; <a title=\"USS Carl M.
