The outgoing Biden Administration has been working overtime to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda as he returns to the White House.

Nothing, not even the name of a ship, is off the table.

Biden recently moved to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters and extended the temporary legal status of nearly 1 million immigrants from El Salvador, Sudan, Ukraine and Venezuela.

In a move to spike government spending one more time, the Biden administration announced its final round of student loan forgiveness last week, clearing over $600 million in debt for thousands of borrowers, according to reports. Biden’s total for student loan debt relief: nearly $189 billion, something for future taxpayers to remember him by.

Meanwhile, an odd game of dibs has been playing out over the last two weeks, courtesy of outgoing Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro. As Politico reported, Del Toro’s named 12 ships, four submarines and a new class of logistics ships.

Such a spree is unusual, especially as around half are either not under contract or don’t have an approved design.

The key takeaway: Anything named by the Biden administration can’t be named by Trump’s. Del Toro has essentially licked all the doughnuts so no one else can have them.

Two aircraft carriers — the USS William J. Clinton and USS George W. Bush — should join the fleet in the late 2030s. Neither ship is in the Navy’s budget yet, although the White House made the unusual move of announcing the names last week. None of the four submarines del Toro has named is under contract.

Then there’s the USS McClung, to be named after Marine Corps Maj. Megan McClung, a public affairs officer who was the first female graduate of the Naval Academy to die in combat and the first female Marine officer to be killed in Iraq. It would be the first of a new class of Medium Landing Ships.

The name “is just a place holder at this point,” said Bryan Clark, a retired Navy officer at the Hudson Institute. “So you’re putting a name on a place holder, and it’s likely to try to make a point about females in combat, even if it’s keeping with the tradition of ship naming.”

The issue of women in combat has made headlines since Pete Hegseth was nominated to be Defense secretary. Many of the people who del Toro honored are military heroes, as is tradition and proper. But scuttling the Trump Administration’s ability to do the same is an unnecessary slight.

In the grand scheme of things, a ship-naming binge isn’t as obstructive as banning new offshore oil and gas drilling, which Trump has vowed to undo.

“I will unban it immediately” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. “I have the right to unban it.”

He said the U.S. has “oil and gas at a level that nobody else has and we’re gonna take advantage of it. It’s really our greatest economic asset.”

The problem is, unraveling Biden’s ban would likely require an act of Congress to repeal, as Biden invoked the 72-year-old federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to enact it.

It’s one more spike strip, one more act of “resistance,” one more move to defy the voters who handed Trump the win.
