No finer American. The Navy made a little video to go along with the picture. Glad a destroyer got named after him, and not an MPS ship or something that not many are aware of. A fighting ship named after a fighting man. Two thumbs up. Note: Not that having any US Navy ship named after you is a bad thing.
