Expeditionary Sea Base ship HERSHEL "WOODY" WILLIAMS ESB4 in the Med...

Big Navy is so inconsistent with its classification/naming conventions that I no longer pay attention to them. First the L-Class bullshit, then this? Add to it the idiocy with naming ships after politicians and shit? Just give them class & numbers like most navies, and limit it to battles/war heroes. This modern day fuckery? I'm not with it! PLEASE NOTE!!!!! THIS SHIP IS PROUDLY AND APPROPRIATELY NAMED! SPEAKING ON RECLASSING IT FROM MLP TO ESB!!!

The US #Navy's fast expeditionary transport #TRENTON T-EPF5 joined up with expeditionary sea base ship HERSHEL "WOODY" #WILLIAMS ESB4 in the Eastern Mediterranean on 20 Aug. Interesting combo of two ship types that did not exist 20 years ago pic.twitter.com/S4V77e1WFz
