I'd rather it be named "Princess Diana", that's far more tough sounding.
You know that the Navy is running low on money when the rule about never naming a warship after a living president gets forgotten.

That being said, I don't think it's a good idea to name an American warship after any monarchs. I think we've gone way too far in a counterproductive direction already. I mean... geez... we fought a whole war to get rid of kings named George. Then we go and elect two more?
You forget about USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76 and USS George H. W. Bush CVN-77?
I'd like to see CVN-78 named USS Franklin D Roosevelt

I\'m having trouble with the radar, sir.
What\'s wrong with it?
I\'ve lost the bleeps, I\'ve lost the sweeps, and I\'ve lost the creeps.
