Gawd, I sure hope not?!! I think it's safe to say, a twice impeached president will not have his name on any navy ship?!!
For decades the U.S. Navy has named many of its most powerful warships after former presidents.
The aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS Theodore Roosevelt, USS Abraham Lincoln, USS George Washington, USS Harry S. Truman, USS Ronald Reagan, USS George H.W. Bush and USS Gerald R. Ford and the future USS John F. Kennedy.
The attack submarine USS Jimmy Carter. The destroyers USS Roosevelt (named for Franklin D. Roosevelt) and USS Lyndon B. Johnson.
But don’t count on there ever being a USS Donald J. Trump—for the same reason there isn’t a USS Richard M. Nixon and probably won’t ever be a USS William J. Clinton, USS George W. Bush or USS Barack Obama.
Trump is divisive and, among Navy leaders, unpopular. More to the point, the secretaries of the Navy who shape ship-naming conventions seem to be increasingly wary of naming ships after any president. “They sort of appreciate how controversial that stuff has become,” said Robert Farley, a University of Kentucky political scientist and historian.

No airports named after Trump either?!!
