I got this yesterday and have not be able to confirm, but looks legit.
From our friends at The Duffel Blog
Washington, DC - Both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars issued a joint statement today condemning the U.S. Navy over the launch of its newest warship, the USS Jane Fonda.
"Without getting into Jane Fonda's activities during the Vietnam War, we feel that it is highly inappropriate to name a warship after an actress with no ties to the military," said James Mitchell, a spokesman for both groups.
The ship's name, which had been kept under wraps until right before the launch, was revealed yesterday at a star-studded event presided over by Ms. Fonda.
Ms. Fonda made a statement prior to the launch, saying, "I dedicate this ship to the brave men who fought and died in Vietnam, especially those in the 66th Viet Cong Regiment."
The actress is extremely unpopular among some military groups for her activities during the Vietnam War, such as posing for propaganda pictures with North Vietnamese soldiers, referring to American prisoners of war as "hypocrites and liars", and more recently cutting the line at a Target in front of a guy wearing an American flag t-shirt.
American warships, traditionally named after states, cities, and posthumous military heroes, have increasingly been named after living figures ever since 1998, when the Republican-controlled Congress named 18 warships in a row after former President Ronald Reagan.

Happy fourth of July, and welcome home.

I'll sleep better tonight.[}:)]
She might be able to get a body tuck business named after her, but not a ship.
GOOD call W.D.

Actually Hanoi Jane said the pics taken of her sitting on the missle launcher in Hanoi was the biggest mistake she ever made and will regret it to her dying day.
And so she should. I hope it haunts her every day until then.
Naming a ship after Hanoi Jane would be as horrible as naming one Barack Hussein Obama. [;)]
Well, if anyone would authorize her (sic) name on a US ship, hussein obama would be the one. [;)]
betcha a steak there will be down the road

I disagree! Why not beat the liberals to the punch and name a garbage scow, or sanitary barge, after him?
"Looks legit" You gotta be kidding.

Really... "Looks legit"???
My old man always said, "Think". I do nowadays. And first thing I would think now is, "That's someone's humor".
OP - you didn't think right away that that's someone's humor?
C'mon dude - think.
Means to micturate.

It sounds like an article from the Duffle Blog, which is the military version of the Onion
I enjoy military humor, but I intensely dislike despicable attempts at military humor from those who disrespect or hate my country. [V] [:(!]
