In this Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2016, photo, birds fly by the USS Gabrielle Giffords, a Naval littoral combat ship built at the Austal USA shipyards, docked on the Mobile River in Mobile, Ala. The ship is named in honor of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords of Arizona. Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was shot in the head during an assassination attempt in 2011, helped christen the ship in 2015. It's part of a hotly debated program that congressional critics slam as flawed and too expensive but that Navy leaders defend as a critical new step in naval warfighting. (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson)
