The U.S. Navy will name its next aircraft carrier the USS Musk according to an executive order to be issued later today. The vessel, which was originally to be christened the USS Enterprise (CVN 80), is expected to be launched by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) in November. It will be the first carrier named after a serving Senior Advisor to the President.


The executive order on ship naming will follow on from a draft order in February entitled ‘Make Shipbuilding Great Again’. That order addressed the imbalance in shipbuilding between the United States and China. President Trump said at the time “We used to make so many ships. We don’t make them anymore very much, but we’re going to make them very fast, very soon.”

...Meanwhile, it now seems likely that the oldest commissioner ship in the U.S. Navy, the USS Constitution, will be disposed of. The vintage vessel, which is made of wood, is no longer considered fit for purpose. Speaking over the weekend, a spokesperson for DOGE noted that wooden ships have no place in a modern warfare. This will also free up the Navy’s oak forests for commercial purposes."

"Also part of the ‘Make Ship Names Great Again’ order, reports suggest that another new vessel, a Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) ship, will be named after the United States Secretary of Defense Hegseth. This has been denied by the White House press secretary. The administration has roundly criticised speculation based on unclassified-classified sources."
 
Of all the things Trump has done, arguably the worst of all is his killing of satire. He's one of two people in history that have managed to kill an entire genre of literature. The other was William McGonagall, who single-handedly killed the epic poem.
 
Given the problems the Navy has I would think having a ship named after you is more of a reputational liability than an honor.

What problems?
 
They're going to break up the USS Constitution? How on-brand is THAT?

Also, I am sitting here trying to remember the last time we named a ship after an un-elected Plutocrat.

ETA: This HAS to be an April fools joke:

April fool's joke indeed but nevertheless, entirely within the wheelhouse of this idiotic administration. 😳

Yes, it was a perfect joke, as it is just inside the realm of possibilities, given this brain-damaged administration.

Good parody/political humor will always make you stop and think.

Bitter Pill would be proud!
 
They could at least have shown a pic of a carrier with winged Tesla pickups on the flight deck.

This is not acceptable. It will be renamed once dumpytits is gone.

I saw someone joke that The Onion should report real news on 4/1
 
The responses on this thread are proof that leftists/progressives are generally lacking a sense of humor.

Besides if any carrier should be renamed, it should be CVN-82, WILLIAM J CLINTON. Maybe we could homeport it in the PI or Thailand. Bill would enjoy visiting.

And CVN-83 will be the GEORGE W. BUSH. But CVN-77 is already the GEORGE H.W. BUSH. Whoever recommended those names should be keel hauled (on a carrier).

Both CVN-82 and 83 were named in Jan 2025 by the outgoing Biden administration. 10% for the “big guy”?
