US Navy Considers Renaming USS Doris Miller Aircraft Carrier Amid Discussions to Honor TrumpPreviousNext

The US Navy is reportedly considering renaming the future Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller, originally named in 2020 to honor Doris Miller, a Black Pearl Harbor hero and the first enlisted sailor to have a carrier named after him. Sources indicate discussions about renaming the ship after former President Donald Trump, while another warship may be named for Miller instead. The Navy is also recommending Miller for a posthumous Medal of Honor. Miller's family has not been informed of the proposed changes, and the decision has sparked public debate.
