Navy is now in the habit of naming ships after lieutenants junior grade?

IIRC, John Kennedy's actual rank while he was captain of the PT109 was lieutenants junior grade. If you are in charge of the ship, you are the captain no matter your official rank.

Fleet of foods and drinks. One way to get people out to sea!

That's not a very threatening name. Call me a traditionalist if you like, but I think that warships should sound a lot scarier.

Like the guided missile cruisers USS Nervous Energy USS Irregular Apocalypse

Or the old British battleships HMS Gunboat Diplomat and HMS Precise Nature Of The Catastrophe

USS I Have Diarrhea and I'm Grumpy So Don't Fuck With Me.

It's not a combat vessel, it is a support ship that will be used for refueling and resupplying other ships.

So they named the ship that sticks its nozzle into lots of other ships after the gay guy.

So you were right. There actually is a gay agenda!
