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.”

No more USS Jimmy Carter?
No, should be named Ulysses S. Grant or William T. Sherman, they won by the complete and utter destruction of their enemies. That is the quality you need in ships. Gentlemanly but surrendered is not a value I would support.
They can’t have ‘Boaty McBoatface’. The British already used that one. &^)
It may depend on the sex of the skipper. %^0
Cause every enemy will quiver before a Navy that knows how to fight valiantly against insensitivity.
Ping.
FU TF1N.
Thank God no.
Of course just about every government building and federal facility in West Virginia is named after him.
Rename them all Sea Tiger I, II, III etc. if pink becomes the official color.
I am good with this. Most evil American, ever.
Any ships named after Halsey? “Before we’re through with them, the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell.”
Seems pretty insensitive to me.
the Navy has removed all plaques and memorials to this vessel from command spaces at the facility where I work.
Is there a USS Johnson?
identify assets named after racist, derogatory or culturally insensitive persons, events or language.
The Catdi B carrier group will strike fear in the hearts of all our “friends” and allies😉
Good ship lollipop.
All white people are “racist, insensitive persons” according to the leftists. Maybe they should stop naming ships after people entirely. The USS Pusillanimous sounds about right for this day and age.
***”Name them the USS Snowflake”***
Name them ALL the USS Snowflake
The purge of the military continues under the lie of “tolerance”.
We won’t win another war. Not that we’ve won any lately...or even tried.
