The Brits have the best ship names.  We are (at best) in second place.

If I had to emulate, I’d go with-

Apocalypse
Armageddon
Damnation
Hellfire
Wanton Destruction
Extinction
Immolation
Mayhem
—————
Or perhaps mythological sea beasts
Kraken
Orca (not mythological, just a cool name)
Jormungander
Luska
Charybdis
Scylla
Leviathan
Hastur
Cthulhu
Vodyannoi
Tiamat
—————
Or weapons
Excalibur
Buí Nás Deichtine
Stormbringer
Mjolnir
Gungnir
Glamdring
Dyrnyn
Levateinn
Kalevamiekka
Dyrnwyn
Skofnung
Durendal

U.S.S  John C. Garand

Her sister ship would be the U.S.S John M. Browning.


Another sister ship would be the Eugene M. Stoner.

There is no other name like it; a name that resounds like the Liberty Bell when spoken; a name that positively oozes freedom...

USS AIMLESS.

I considered USS Goatboy, but "having the goat pictures" has a specific meaning in the Navy that is like "See that came?l" to British Army guys serving the depths of the Sahara Desert.

Bravo, historical, traditional names only. Tired of ships being named after assholes.

Hell we don't even have a USS Samuel B Roberts in service, now that is a ship name that should always be in use.

Po-ta-to, po-tah-to....
Seems like a lot of recent US presidents are traitorous scum.

And I think you lose your Texas citizenship for that.

USS Langley

Samuel Pierpont Langley (August 22, 1834  February 27, 1906) was an American astronomer, physicist, inventor of the bolometer and aviation pioneer. In addition to becoming the third Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, he was also a professor of astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh, where he was the director of the Allegheny Observatory.
Wasn't there already a Langley?

Yes.  CV-1.  Notable older warships are traditional namesakes for carriers.  Hornet, Yorktown, Lexington, Wasp, Enterprise, Independence, Saratoga, and Ranger have all been used fo multiple carriers.
