TL;DR Summary
NAACP and Black leaders condemn reports that the Navy may rename the Gerald R. Ford–class carrier from USS Doris Miller to USS Donald Trump, arguing it disrespects Pearl Harbor hero Doris Miller, who earned the Navy Cross and could be considered for the Medal of Honor; Miller would be the first African American carrier namesake, with the Navy’s naming decision expected by keel-laying in 2026 for a 2034 delivery.
