US Navy Considers Unprecedented Action
The article discusses the controversy and potential changes regarding the naming of the new U.S. Navy aircraft carrier of the Ford class. Originally, it was intended to be named "Doris Miller" in honor of an African American sailor who displayed heroism during the Pearl Harbor attack. Currently, the Navy is seeking to change the ship's name, with internal discussions ongoing about selecting a name that aligns with efforts to raise awareness of military history and promote fairness—possibly even honoring President Trump. This move is unprecedented, as it would be the first time a carrier is proposed to be named after a sitting president. The efforts also include honoring Doris Miller by awarding him the Medal of Honor, the highest decoration for service members, a plan that has been known to his family for years. The Navy faces a tight timeline before the keel-laying ceremony at the end of the year, with the ship expected to be delivered by 2034. Internal debates continue regarding the naming procedures and potential changes to the official name until a final decision is made.
