What’s the only U.S. Navy ship NOT named for an American?

Why, the USS Winston S. Churchill, of course! Hit the link for it’s action today. AOL News – U.S. Navy Seizes Pirate Ship Off Somalia

The reason I know this interesting but useless bit of trivia, is because I got Brigid a "USS Winston S. Churchill" baseball cap a few years ago. When she wears a baseball cap (not very often) it’s either that one, or one with "Jamaica" imprinted on it.

    Tom,
    Why in the world would you buy her a masculine hat when you always coached in that Disney (specifically Goofey) hat?
    Seriously though, I’m very excited that everything has been going right on schedule. I was wondering about the platelets. I’ve been on antibiotics for a sinus infection and the center stated I need to wait 3 days after stopping the medication before I can donate. Will you still be accepting donations by the end of the week?
    The insignificant pain that a needle causes is nothing compared to some of these postings.

    Jamie and Thea,
    I’ll have to introduce you to each other. Besides being comedians, you share having knee problems.

    Tom,
    Does it mean that Thea can’t hit the inside of barn when kicking the ball too?
