What I have always found curious about this suit was their claim on 'all ships built at Hampton Roads Shipyard.' Unlike modern US Naval design and precurement, all US Naval Vessels constructed prior to 1966 were designed by the US Bureau of Ships, a government entity. The naming of the vessel is also a government function.
Either they are not aware of the role of the Bureau of Ships as the persons involved may not have been around in 1966, or they are running a bigger bluff in their shakedown.
