I thought it was going to be an article complaining about the US Navy's tendency to give up cool names in favour of naming ships after politicians who voted to give more money to the Navy, but I was thinking of the USS America. (Which was, I believe, the proposed name for one of the new Ford-class carriers until they decided to name it after a politician and stick the "USS America" label on a lesser ship.)
