The petition suggests that the next major vessel be christened “USS The Deplorables,” as the petition notes, “to honor those citizens who rose up to defend America and the Constitution from the globalists.”
The name is taken from a remark Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made on the campaign trail to refer to supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.
The petition, which was started by someone with the initials D.S., has so far only garnered 768 votes since being launched on December 4, 2016 – 99,232 short of the 100,000 needed by January 3, 2017, to receive an official response from the White House.

Nice twist, I think that Trump will be downsizing the military build up some, not 'deplorable' at all.

I like the idea, but it will never happen there`s too much politics behind the name I don`t think the navy wants to get involved in politically sensitive stuff when naming a ship.

The U.K. almost awesomely named one of their exploration ships Boaty McBoatface
Too bad, as usual, "they" didn't listen to the public.

As long as it has Hillary's likeness painted on the very front, it will scare the bejesus out of all opponents.
