How Long Do You Think It Will Take For Trump To Change The Name Of The USNS John Lewis?

For those of you who don't know, the Obama Administration decided in January 2016 to name a new class of oiler ships for the Navy after Congressman John Lewis. In addition to the USNS John Lewis, there will be five other "Lewis Class" ships named after human rights activists (including Harvey Milk). The ships will not be completed until 2018.

Anyone want to make a bet on how long it will take the Trump Administration to change the names, with the willing help of a GOP Congress?

And, any bets on what they'll change the class name to?

USNS Vladimir Putin?

USNS Steve Bannon?

USNS Newt Gingrich?

USNS Ivanka Trump?
