The Ruling Class would prefer you to lose all sense of history, and live in a ‘managed’ present tense.
Resist we much.
So, I guess you’re saying the USS Sandra Fluke is out, right?

Why, no: the Fluke is an inflatable latex affair, suitable for PACFIRE evolutions.
Especially in the troubled waters near Bangkok?
I vote for the USS Moral Enterprise, to be stationed at our new base on Vanuatu, and at the disposal of our new Ambassador to that island nation.

The biggest mil honchos who have any say in the matter should insist that the next new ship is to be called Enterprise. Period. End of story. Threaten a squid attack (meaning Smitty) on anyone who tries to change the rule.
