The United States Navy says it has named a ship after the late Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The future USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg (T-AO 212) will be the first U.S. Navy ship to bear her name.

The ship will be a John Lewis-class replenishment oiler ship, which are used to refuel carrier strike groups at sea.

The ships are traditionally named after civil and human rights advocates.

Ginsburg fought for women's rights and gender equality up until her death in 2020.

She died at the age of 87 from complications from metastatic pancreas cancer.

Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro released a statement saying in part, "As we close out women's history month, it is my absolute honor to name the next T-AO after the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is a historic figure who vigorously advocated for women's rights and gender equality,"

The future T-AO 212 is the eighth of the T-AO ships awarded to the Navy, with the first delivered in 2021. The class and lead ship T-AO 205 is named in honor of Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga).

Ships should be named after states, cities, battles, and war heroes.

Naming them after politicians is gay. Then again, so is the Navy.

Edit: politicians who were in the service are acceptable namesakes. But civvies? That's cringe.

 

[John McAfee]

A ship fueled by fetuses. Neat!

The ship will be a John Lewis-class replenishment oiler ship, which are used to refuel carrier strike groups at sea.

A greasy, slippery ship to honor a greasy, slippery bitch.

At least it's not like a main battleship or a carrier, imagine how demoralizing that would be. Drowning as the sea rushes into the shriveled old kike and you are dragged down into the abyss like all those aborted babies.

 

[Troonos]

Holy shit, that's fucking disgusting. Go read about Jack H. Lucas and find out what kind of person we're supposed to be naming ships after. That Jewess archlich cunt can rot in hell.

 

[Shroom King]

The ships are traditionally named after civil and human rights advocates.

Imagine the optics of a mosque full of schoolchildren getting shelled by the USNS George Floyd.

 

[quaawaa]

Where is the USS Antonin Scalia if we are naming ships after dead Supreme Court Justices?

 

[Meat Target]

Imagine the optics of a mosque full of schoolchildren getting shelled by the USNS George Floyd.

I'd name one after Eddie Gallagher, for the lulz.

 

[Kosher Dill]

I got a peek at the ship. The hull is held together with duct tape, both propellers are rusted in place, it's leaking below the waterline, the computers are all showing BSODs, the windows are cracked, and it's slowly sinking.

But that's just normal wear and tear on a ship of this age, nothing to see here. It is DEFINITELY not time to inaugurate the USNS Antonin Scalia, the RBG has many years left in it.

 

[Kane Lives]

lol I looked up the ship class, and the wise latina joins illustrious figures such as:
John Lewis
Harvey Milk
Earl Warren
Robert Kennedy
Lucy Stone
Sojourner Truth
and Thurgood Marshall

 

[Car Won't Crank]

Nothing will beat the naming scheme of the White Star Line's ocean liners. Titanic, Britannic, Oceanic, Nomadic, Adriatic, etc all inspire and conjure up an image of something greater.

 

[DamnWolves!]

USNS Ruth Bader Ginsberg vs USS Liberty movie when?

They should install a ship's horn with "inspirational quotes" from RBG, so the USNS can cry out as it strikes you.

 

[Chicken Neck Nelly]

I bet the bow of the ship is fucking massive and hook shaped

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

 

[Screw Danlon]

So it will basically do nothing but take up space, and yet be lauded as one of the greatest ships ever?

 

[Tax Refund Fairy]

How much would it suck if that ship sank and you went down on the Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

 

[Snekposter]

Titanic

all inspire and conjure up an image of something greater

I mean, technically. I mean, the whole ship was a titanic engineering disaster. Poor quality steel, bulkheads that stopped below the ceiling and so weren't watertight in the slightest...

 

[Johnny Salami]

That's dumb

They should name it thr USS Niger

 

[Shidoen]

Hope the engine doesn't stall too much.

 

[Breadbassket]

If this sets a precedent I for one am looking forward to the USS Sonia Sotomayor.
