This could be so much more interesting if:

'Mrs. Daniel K. Inouye, wife of Hawaii's senator Daniel K. Inouye, and a
community leader who embodies Hawaii's charm, warmth and character will
christen the ship.

The 77,104-ton Mrs Inouye, underwent a major transformation in May and was
re-flagged and re-named on June 7th as Pride of Aloha in a poignant ceremony
held in San Francisco.

You think so?

Take a look at Margaret Inouye (especially the bottom picture) when she
christened another ship last year:
