Some traditions are worth honoring, this is certainly one of them.

The Mighty Moo,CG 63 was more than just a ship. I was honored to be able to serve as their first ombudsman. For the plank owners, we found another family in the crew and their families. And I'm sure that those connections continued way beyond our departure in 1992.

My husband served on the Cowpens and was very proud of her & his time on her. He recently passed away. I'm positive he would have signed this petition. I'm doing for both of us. Keep the USS COWPENS alive!

As A veteran and a past member of the USS COWPENS CG-63. We need to keep a piece of history a live since the original USS Cowpens CVL-63 served in WWII we need another ship named after that Revolutionary battle and to honor those that served on both ships named after that battle and the town that celebrates both ships named after the town and battle

I am a veteran and Plank Owner for USS Cowpens (CG-63). The ship is an important part of U.S. History and it's connection with the town of Cowpens, SC is unprecedented. It would be valuable to continue the naming tradition.

In honor of my cousin who served on the 2nd USS Cowpens. On a trip across the country together I was able to witness the blessings of the town of Cowpens, SC open up its doors for my cousin to see the history he was part of making. The bond between the town and their ships is remarkable. Please continue the tradition so more servicemen can have this experience.

I served on the last USS COWPENS and had the absolute honor of attending the ciity of COWPENS celebration, the connection the community has to this ship and its Sailors is like nothing I have ever seen in my 30 years of service. It is a tradition and a relationship that this community deserves and it show the Sailors just how important their service is.

Because the town of Cowpens needs a ship to follow the last two ships who are both no longer in the fleet so the tradition will end. My ship, CG-63, launched missiles on the same day as the batttle that was fought in 1781. That should be enough to continue the tradition.
