On 7 December 2007, the 66th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Congressman Harry Mitchell proposed naming this ship USS Arizona.
That's sure to stir up a hornets nest if it hasn't already. While the Arizona was stricken from the naval register, it would be kind of distasteful to use the name again. But you have to take into account the source too, could be total BS. Just my 2 cents though.

EDIT: Googled it and got confirmation, he really said it...
