Navy Destroyer Named for 1st Black Marine Corps Aviator
Associated Press | Nov 26, 2016
TOPEKA, Kan. -- A U.S. Navy destroyer has been named in honor of a Topeka three-star general who became the first black aviator, first black general and first black base commander in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced that the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, which is under construction, would bear the name of Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen Jr., according to the Topeka Capital-Journal. The warship's hull number will be DDG 121.

For Mabus to name a ship after someone, don't they have to be gay, tranny, lesbian, or any combination of them?
