TL;DR Summary
The USS Doris Miller, the carrier initially set to honor Pearl Harbor hero Doris Miller, is reportedly under consideration for renaming to honor Donald Trump, a move that has drawn criticism since Miller earned the Navy Cross and his family pushes for broader recognition; no U.S. carrier has been named for a sitting president, and detractors, including Senator Mark Kelly, oppose the idea.
