... under Hitler renamed the heavy cruiser Deutschland to Lutzow to avoid lowering morale and causing national shame if she were sunk.

Of course naming any ship USS drumpf would be a national shame. Personally, I find the Reagan, the Ford, and the Bush to all be extremely shameful names for carriers.

Reagan? An bad actor, non-warrior, non-hero.

Ford? A nothing naval officer, a partial president.

Bush? An adolescent seeking glory who caused the deaths of his crew while bailing out?
