I think this is fitting.  Ms. Giffords came back from the edge of death by a miracle and has mostly recovered from the attempt to murder her by  her own sheer force of will.

I dont think this is fitting. 

Isnt a vessel being named for someone happen only after they are deceased? 

She has become vocal agenda driven anti gun fanatic who uses her fame to get her message across, despite the fact that it was a lack of guns that contributed to the enormity of the crime against her and others that day. (The chief of police in tucson is anti gun and ordered his officers not to have weapons at that event, something the media doesnt report on.)

I do think that what happened to her and others was a terrible tragedy and I do not mean to sound like I belittle it, but really what has she done to deserve this except get shot? She was at best a mediocre politician. A 9 yr old girl who was brought there as a special treat died in that tragedy. The vessel should have been named for her instead.

Agreed. What happened was a tragedy, but I really dislike the way she uses it to push her agenda. Kinda thing makes me glad I don't live in the Tucson district. Used to be ships were named for someone after they passed.

I think ships ought to be named at the very least for American patriots who fight for our freedoms, not against them.
