Only aircraft carriers are named for Presidents. And since we only commission a new one about every 7 years, and since Congress has a say in the naming of the ship, Obama won't ever get one. All the carriers we have in the fleet named after Presidents have one thing in common, including the two named after Democrat Presidents ( the Harry S. Truman and the John F. Kennedy ); they all served in the military at one point.

There was a HYDROFOIL PATROL BOAT by that name. She was originally assigned to CRD-21 back in the late 60's.
Here are 3 websites about the TUCUMCARI PGH-2 and CRD-21. She and the FLAGSTAFF did time in Viet Nam.
There are several websites about the TUCUMCARI and her squadron & sister ship the FLAGSTAFF PGH-1. Just do a google.com search.
Good luck!
(CRD = Coastal River Division)
(signed: USN, 65-85, retired)
