Mark Hertling: "Never heard of anything like this; an affront to the ship’s namesake (Sen McCain) . . .

The ship was initially named in the early '90s after John S McCain Sr and John S McCain Jr, both admirals in the US Navy, and grandfather and father (respectively) of Senator John S McCain III

"On 11 July 2018, just 1+1⁄2 months before he died, at a rededication ceremony, Senator John McCain was added as a namesake, along with his father and grandfather" (Wikipedia)
