Navy Weighs Renaming Carrier Honoring Pearl Harbor Hero Doris Miller After Trump

The US Navy is internally discussing renaming aircraft carrier CVN-81 — designated in 2020 to honor Black Pearl Harbor hero Doris Miller — after President Trump, CNN reported on August 20, citing three sources. No carrier has ever been named for a sitting president. Senator Mark Kelly and NAACP president Derrick Johnson have already opposed the move. The Navy has not publicly confirmed the discussions.
