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.”

Keep gathering.
And the souls of deceased soldiers sent to fight those monsters’ minions are screaming in rage. We had best listen.
Who is this DeeCee you speak of?
Sounds like a rapper.
He needed the FULL SUPPORT of the the Republican controlled house and senate to have gotten started on it. And we know their level of ‘support’ during his 1st 2 years. If they would have backed him, I think the people would have kept the Repubs in control of the house and a couple more seats in the senate. Alas, there was no backbone amongst the house and senate leaders.
There IS a USS Harvey Milk.
Heaven forbid the Navy admit to what old salts call bollards.
Sorry, McCains...
Well, say goodbye to San Diego, there goes the Lyndon B Johnson.
“I am good with this. Most evil American, ever.”
Testing your own capacity for exaggeration again I suppose.
And Chivington.
Don't forget your Chivington.
Looks like they will have to “cancel” a lot of Democrats. Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Jackson, among others.
Roosevelt. Didn't he command the old Jim Crow era segregated army?
The one that went ashore on those beaches.
John C. Stennis was a segregationist. Well so was Joe Biden.
USS John S. McCain (DDG-56)
This warship was originally named after John S. McCain, Sr., and John S. McCain, Jr.,[2] both admirals in the United States Navy. John S. McCain, Sr., commanded the aircraft carrier USS Ranger, and later the Fast Carrier Task Force during the latter stages of World War II. John S. McCain, Jr., commanded the submarines USS Gunnel and USS Dentuda during World War II. He subsequently held a number of posts, rising to commander-in-chief of the United States Pacific Command, before retiring in 1972. These men were, respectively, the grandfather and father of Vietnam War Navy captain and later Senator John S. McCain III.[4]
On 11 July 2018, just 1 1⁄2 months before he died, at a rededication ceremony, Senator John McCain was added as a namesake, along with his father and grandfather.[5]

Roosevelt did. I forgot. Believe it was Truman who desegregated the military and Eisenhower continued the policy.
Then change the ones named after Democrats.
STFU.
You obviously are very ignorant petty little man
Fine.
Let’s just name them after prominent Chinese Communist Party members and be done with it.
also Philip Sheridan
How about CVN Ruth Ginsburg or DLGN Adam Schiff? USS Harvey Milk (The Dock Queen - never leaves port). How about the USS Peewee Herman? And another natural the USS George Floyd, currently on drug interdiction duty in the Caribbean. And last but not least, the USS Caitlin Jenner - a stealth frigate.
