The Virginia class attack subs are also now named after states, except the ones that aren't (e.g., Hyman G Rickover).
The only issue with naval battles is that we didn’t give battles locations like Midway, Wake Island, and Philippines Sea until WWIi. Prior to that we used ship vs ship names like Constitution vs. Guerriere and that makes for a complicated hat.

He bowls overhand.
This. But if you're going to choose Presidents, there are quite a few unused names of people that are significantly more historically significant... Madison, Adams, Grant, Wilson come to mind.
In our infinite wisdom, we decided to shift fast-attack subs to states with the procurement of the Virginia Class (except when they are randomly named after people), and the Columbia class SSBN will shift to cities.
Not fucking confusing to anyone at all.
Similar to carriers being named after major battles, I miss the days where fast attack subs were named after angry fish.
They threw in 4 named after fish/famous submarines to include Barb, Wahoo, Tang and Silversides then a SECNAV, an island...then back to cities.
City, state then back to city for the three named so far.
Our system is that we have no fucking system.
Well you’re not wrong. The only actual “rule” about ship names is that they can’t be already on the active Naval Register (“official” list of ships). NHHC submits suggestions keeping with the general scheme but other than that, it’s entirely at the Secretary’s discretion. He could name a ship Mickey Mouse or Jeffrey Dahmer or Raspberry Sparkle Farts if he wanted to.
Interestingly, the Coasties do it somewhat differently. They have a committee within the Commandant’s office that comes up with the names and the Commandant approves or disapproves.
The moon landing was a fake, what's wrong with you?
Now that you mention it, USS Flat Earth has a nice ring to it.
Completely off topic. There is a Netflix RomCom movie with ScarJo and Channing Tatum about filming a fake moon landing that was pretty funny. The wife and I liked it for different reasons. Critics hated it, but people who watch it seem to like it.
Patience...
How about "USS VENGEFUL"
I can see the news reporters now. Today the USS VENGEFUL parked off the coast of Iran/China etc..
Nobody is scared of Bill showing up off the coast now maybe if it was Hillary, people would know someone was about to have an 'accident'

Maybe DOGE can get involved and come up with some ideas to reduce the federal deficit. Sell off naming rights, allow advertising inside the ship. For example: lets have the USS Coinbase, a wardroom brought to you by Ozempic, sports betting kiosks brought to you by DraftKings sprinkled throughout the ship.
Better idea than the USS Murrha. 😄

Waiting for the USS Hunter (Biden not Ligget).
It will be our first ship to require an unqualified crew to get paid $83,000 per month, and be required to use cocaine while standing watch.
And all crew members will be preemptively pardoned for any transgressions afloat or ashore from 10 years prior to enlistment until 10 years after separation.

Today aircrews from the USS Taco Bell struck Houthi targets in Yemen. Cdr. Robert “Spicy” Jones of VFA-200, the Bashing Burritos, says his aviators performed well and reminded all that there is a two for one sale on gorditos with the purchase of a Pepsi product.
