I wonder at what point in time the US navy changed from naming submarines after snakes to naming them after fish? Not that it really matters much but, some one keep track of the next time they change what they name them after. I place $5.00 in the pool and vote they name them after Victoria's Secret female undies types.

Times change. Today's more [ read as 'excess' IMNSHO] creative latitude of naming capital ships is not far from selecting Vicky Snicker models. I'm glad to be retired from Naval service, there are ships I'd be unhappy representing by Command rocker on my jumper sleeve.
USS Independence, Enterprise, Kitty Hawk, Flatley, Cowpens, et-al; that's one thing. The USS SomeBodyNotHeldInHighRegard, hell no!
In 1959 there was an undies attempt via Hollywood. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Petticoat
