Oh Hell No...
"The Navy’s 10th San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock will be named for Rep. John Murtha, the long-serving Pennsylvania Democrat who chaired the powerful House appropriations defense subcommittee before he died in February.
"According to a Navy memorandum obtained by Navy Times, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus notified Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead that he had selected “John P. Murtha” for the previously unnamed LPD 26. It’s the latest example of the Navy breaking a convention for naming its warships; the previous ships in the San Antonio class have been named for American cities."

That's not just a "hell no", it's a NO F'IN WAY IN HELL! The Corp should have taken away his insignia! Drummed him out, so to speak! No self-respecting Marine would get on anything named after that...words fail me in fully describing that male named Murtha.
What is the Sec Nav's phone number? I'll find it. Melt the phones!

Don't ask, don't tell now applies in the SecNav's
office. To be elected Governor in Mississippi,
Mabus entered into a marriage of convenience.
I am surprised he didn't name it after Barney Frank.
