Navy Carrier Originally Honoring Black War Hero May Be Renamed for Trump

The U.S. Navy is reportedly considering renaming an aircraft carrier that was initially slated to honor Doris Miller, a Black hero of the Pearl Harbor attack. This potential change has drawn criticism, with some accusing the Trump administration of disrespecting military veterans.

The carrier, currently under construction, was previously announced to be named the USS Doris Miller. The decision to potentially rename it has sparked backlash, with critics viewing it as a "slap in the face" to veterans and a departure from honoring significant historical figures in military service.
