good talk

Trump's an anus.  The USS Chancellorsville is a billion dollar guided-missile cruiser named for the Confederates' greatest victory.  April 30 to May 6, 1863, Robert Lee faced the Union forces under Maj. General Joseph Hooker, near the town of Chancellorsville, Virginia, featured was Hooker's timidity (called "Fighting Joe", a misnomer) with Lee's daring.  The decisive-action was Lee, expected to retreat, divided his army, sending Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson to stealthily outflank Hooker's superior-force ("Stonewall Jackson's Flanking March", studied by junior-officers today, in the hope that maybe they can do something like this), and knocking-out the unprepared XI Corps, made-up of German Americans.  A victory that couldn't be repeated, as 9 days later, Jackson was dead.  The Rebs were much-admired by those who bled to subdue them, and after, but I don't care about that, I want the name of that vessel changed
