CNN published an exclusive report on the 20th saying that the US Navy is in the process of changing the name of the aircraft carrier “Doris Miller” under construction and may be named after current US President Trump instead. The report quoted three sources as saying that since the beginning of this year, the US Navy has been promoting the renaming of the aircraft carrier “Doris Miller.” Two of the sources revealed that internal discussions suggested changing the name to Trump. The report said that the US Navy has now stopped using the name “Doris Miller” and only uses the hull number “CVN-81” to refer to the aircraft carrier. They are considering naming another warship after “Doris Miller.” The report wrote that the US Navy “is under pressure to determine the name of the aircraft carrier as soon as possible” because the aircraft carrier keel laying ceremony is expected to be held at the end of this year, which marks an important stage in aircraft carrier construction. The report pointed out that most of America's active aircraft carriers are named after successive US presidents, and none of these aircraft carriers were launched during the presidency of the same name, “naming an aircraft carrier after the current president is unprecedented.” The US Department of Defense said in response to this matter that there is currently no news to release. During Trump's first presidency, the US Navy announced that the “CVN-81” aircraft carrier would be named “Doris Miller” to commemorate Doris Miller, an African soldier who used a machine gun to shoot a Japanese aircraft in the Pearl Harbor incident in 1941. The aircraft carrier is expected to be delivered in 2034.
