Typical of the Yanks to do something like that and full marks to them, a wonderful way to keep the young man's name alive. No doubt if we proposed something like that here it would be rejected on cost grounds or because it might offend someone........

Outstanding 
That is one of the best things I have read in a long while
and the fact that the USN is doing it for a British soldier
is superb.

faithless,
FYI, RAF VC10s have (for a long time) had the names of Victoria Cross winners painted on their sides, some since 1966. The citations were also displayed in the Sqn building(s) for many years.

The trading of Salutes amongst Warriors is a centuries old tradition is it not?

What a nice way to remember the Fallen.
Sadly the way things are going in the near future there wont be enough equipment in the UK Armed services to to put the names of the fallen on

My respect for the USN has just gone up yet another notch or three
A really great idea and I'm sure it will be seriously appreciated this side of the pond
