US Navy considers renaming Doris Miller aircraft carrier after Donald Trump

US Navy Donald Trump Doris Miller aircraft carrier Pearl Harbor

The US Navy is reportedly considering renaming the CVN-81 aircraft carrier, which was originally intended to honor Doris Miller, a Black World War II hero and the first Black sailor to receive the Navy Cross. Internal discussions suggest the vessel could instead be named after President Donald Trump, a move that would be unprecedented for a sitting president.

Doris Miller, a Pearl Harbor hero who demonstrated extraordinary bravery despite having no formal training on anti-aircraft weaponry, was slated to be honored by the first aircraft carrier named after an enlisted Black sailor. His family, including great-nephew Thomas Bledsoe, expressed shock at the news, noting they were informed via media outlets rather than the Navy.

In addition to the potential name change, President Trump has issued a directive to replace the carrier's modern electromagnetic catapult systems with traditional steam-powered versions. The Navy is also reportedly considering recommending Miller for the Medal of Honor and potentially renaming a different, smaller vessel in his honor to mitigate the impact of the carrier's name change.
