Might be worth considering naming one of the new Virginia's after her since they've started naming subs after fish again.

The US Navy doesn't reuse the names of ships lost in combat. If it's sunk, the name is done.

That must be a new policy because there is a museum submarine USS Albacore in Portsmouth NewHampshire.
