Navy considers renaming USS Doris Miller aircraft carrier after President Trump
Navy officials are weighing whether to rename the under-construction Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller after President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar with the discussions. Miller, a Black WWII hero who received the Navy Cross for his actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor, was originally honored with the carrier's name in January 2020. The NAACP criticized the reported talks, calling them a "slap in the face."
