USS Cooperstown Christened to Honor HOF Veterans.

The Navy christened the USS Cooperstown, a Freedom-variant littoral combat ship, in honor of all military veterans, including the 70 Baseball Hall of Fame members who interrupted their baseball careers to serve in the military. Staterooms on the ship will be named after Hall of Fame members and will have a replica of their Cooperstown plaques on their doors. The ship's motto is "America's Away Team."
