I do not like this. At all.
I realize that the battleship has been decommissioned, but considering its history, and as long as it is afloat in Pearl Harbor, there should be no other USS Missouri. |

I actually agree with Frazod. Either leave it as commissioned, or do whatever it takes to retire the name. There aren't all THAT many legendary ship names. The Missouri is one, and I dont' see recycling it.
Even if the Constitution were to be decommissioned for whatever reason, I sure as hell hope they wouldn't just name the newest whatever ship by that name for chrissakes.

I think the battleship is the Missour-ee, and this one is the Missour-uh.

I was kidding, of course. Although USS Missouri-B has a nice ring to it.

Nice. Perhaps they should ask the folks of Nevada, MO?
