In a report by Task Force One Navy released last week, the Navy is recommending that the service go farther than an existing mandate to rename warships and facilities named for Confederate leaders, and should also “identify assets named after racist, derogatory or culturally insensitive persons, events or language” and rename them.
Task Force One Navy, or TF1N, was formed last summer to address racism, sexism, and other forms of bias within the service. In its final report published Wednesday, the task force said, “Certain Navy ship names have been highlighted by Congress and in the media for connections to confederate or white supremacist ideologies.”
The TF1N final report listed, among its recommendations, that the Navy begin a review of process “to Identify and Rename Navy Assets in Need of Modernization Consistent with Navy Core Values.” The report said the review should “identify assets honoring those associated with the Confederacy and identify assets named after racist, derogatory or culturally insensitive persons, events or language.”
The report comes in addition to a provision in the 2021 defense budget, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), requiring the Secretary of Defense to establish a “commission relating to assigning, modifying, or removing of names, symbols, displays, monuments, and paraphernalia to assets of the Department of Defense that commemorate the Confederate States of America or any person who served voluntarily with the Confederate States of America.”

Uh, subject to state law, slavery was constitutional in the northern states.
Controlling the present indeed controls the past.
Down the memory hole we go.

Congressman Bush voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act if I recall. One-time segregationist supporter it will be said.
By the time our RINO Republicans realize what has happened it will all be gone.
From what i gather the confederates were not fighting to maintain the slaves they were fighting for FREEDOM from the north.
It was the NORTH that created the narrative about slavery.
A crazy situation twisted about by the modern LEFT to fill their pathetic race narratives.
Woke naval personnel should be booted from service
This is straight Bravo Sierra! First you are going to waste millions of dollars so some gender confused puss nuts who dwell in Mommy’s Basement can feel like all the scary things in the World can be erased! You have 2 ships with long history that are going to have to be decommissioned and recommissioned with new gender fluid non offensive names because so sack who would never serve can get off! How many millions were wasted on this study that could have went to training? Hell you have kids out here who can’t even steer ships without hitting something and killing their Shipmates!!! Excuse me Admins and fellow Freepers, this old Salt had to rant about this CHT!
I served on John C. Calhoun SSBN630. One of the other subs in the squadron was Stonewall Jackson.
