So apparently there is a petition going around to name the next major US NAVY ship, most likely a Zumwalt class destroyer, the "USS THE DEPLORABLES". I was wondering what the rest of/k/ thought about it. I personally think it would be amusing hearing the name from the media all the time. also for those interested here is the link to the petition For those that may be interested in signing, the petition can be found here https://wh.gov/ieJQQ

Will never happen and it's a retarded idea. Change petitions don't do anything.

It's not a change petition, it's a white house petition meaning the president actually has to make a statement about it at 100k signatures. True it will most likely never become a name though.
trumpfags clinging to the 'deplorables' thing are just as bad as clinton voters clinging to the 'nasty girl' title.

>Is that anything new at this point? Thanks Obama
>>32383638
That would be funny but I don't think I could get behind forcing Navy members to work on a ship named "The Deplorables", even if it were possible.
>>32383638
>give a stupid name to a ship
Fuck off /pol/, /k/ isn't your plaything.
The name "Deplorable" could work but it wouldn't fit for the class.
US Ships are named after people, locations, or battles. They don't do the British convention of naming ships with whatever sounds cool/threatening.

>We don't name ships after words, except these ships we named after words.
The naming convention isn't a goddamn law, they toss it aside when they feel like it. If they want to start naming ships after words again, they can do that.
related trivia: in 1904, when the British launched HMS Dreadnought, Senator John Sharp Williams (D-MS) put forward a bill that would rename USS Michigan the USS Skeered O' Nothin'
