I guess I should have been a little more specific. Combatant ship would have been more correct.

One Navy Ship named in honor of a civilian - The USS Fessenden was the only combatant ship which commemorated the name of a civilian that never served in the US military, held high office or was a founding father of the United States. Mr. Reginald A. Fessenden demonstrated first voice modulated Radio transmission in 1900, and first phonograph transmission in 1906.

I cede the floor.
