Naming a future US capital-ship class

What naming convention could follow for a proposed new US capital-ship class?

Civil War battle names are suggested as a joking way to make cancellation politically awkward, with selected admirals as another option.

The naming discussion proposes American Civil War battles, with admirals as a secondary choice. The suggestion rests on a joke that Congress would find cancelling such a ship politically awkward. Bull Run and Manassas prompt an uncertain exchange about battle names and outcomes. Willis Lee is offered as a possible admiral's name.
