I was kind of curious about the person after whom the Porter was named, so I looked him up on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_D._Porter

Seems a bit of a shame such a capable commander should have as his only namesake a ship that is a bit of o laughingstock to the rest of the world. I say they should give another go at naming a ship after Commodore Porter...
