The US Navy will rename the oceanographic survey ship USNS Maury, which was named after Matthew Fontaine Maury.
Maury is considered by many to be one of the foremost pioneers of oceanography in history.
He was a decorated U.S. naval officer for decades until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he refused to fight against his home state and joined the Confederacy.

Bad luck to rename ships.
Our government has gone woke. Soon to be broke.

One of the few things that communists are very efficient at is erasing, revising, or ignoring the history of the nation over which they rule...
No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

Don’t tell them that the Nazi’s figured out how to pressurize aircraft using countless human subjects.
Once they figure it out they’ll ban air travel.

Wonder why no one wants to join the military of a country that hates them.

How about if we renamed the Harvey Milk? Would that be bad luck . . . ?

Another kink in the armor... another small cut... but they add up. The commies know this and they never quit.

The Hunley.
A tiny hand cranked death trap.
I saw it years ago undergoing cleaning in Charleston.

Maury was also a Bible Believing Christian. Which in today's depraved society would earn him an extra bad mark...

I got my middle name from my Confederate Great Grandfather. Odd that I have never thought of changing my name.

The Biden cultists are erasing and disrespecting history. They remind me of the Taliban who destroyed the ancient historic Buddhist statues.
