Navy mulls stripping Black war hero’s name from aircraft carrier for Trump: Sources

The U.S. Navy is considering renaming a Gerald R. Ford–class aircraft carrier originally intended to honor Doris Miller, a Black war hero from Pearl Harbor. Sources indicate discussions have occurred throughout the summer to name the vessel after Donald Trump instead. This potential change follows Trump's orders for redesigns involving old-fashioned steam catapult technology, which are expected to cost billions. Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao and his office have been involved in these ongoing deliberations.
