While I amire Ms. Giffords and hope for continued recovery her I do not believe her name should be used for naming a US Navy Minsweeper, er, I mean LCS.
1. She's never served in the Navy.
2. She is not a "Regionally Important American City or Community"
3. She's a living person.
You forgot #4, we're going to honor a victim of weapon violence with a ship designed to kill people with weapons.
