There's no USS Larry McDonald, but there's a USS Gabby Giffords?

I mean, Larry McDonald* was actually murdered by a foreign nation's armed forces. And he was a Democrat, too, so what's the hangup? The Jack pointed out that if being a shot congresscritter is enough to get a warship named after you, why is there no USS Leo Ryan*? He was a victim of Gun Violence and Religious Extremism!
What the hell, I'll go there. Besides, you know you were thinking it, too...
At least we know the ship will be able to sail slowly in circles even after taking a hit to the bridge. http://t.co/C5oHPggDIT Too soon?
