America and the USN have always been about peace and freedom ...
If you fire first we fire second
I always thought it odd to name a Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine the USS Will Rogers who is quoted as having said,
"I never met a man that I didn't like"

41 for Freedom refers to the US Navy Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarines from the George Washington, Ethan Allen, Lafayette, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin classes. All of these submarines were commissioned 1959-1967, as the goal was to create a credible, survivable sea-based deterrent as quickly as possible.
