Former Michigan Senator Carl Levin has received a rare honor. A U.S. Navy Destroyer is being named for him. Levin is the state’s longest serving U.S. Senator and served as a member and chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services before retiring in 2014 after 36 years of service in Washington. Levin spoke with Paul W. Smith Monday morning.
