Navy Mulls Stripping Black War Hero’s Name from Aircraft Carrier for Trump: Sources The US Navy is considering stripping the USS Doris Miller aircraft carrier of its namesake, the late Black war hero, and potentially replacing it with a ship bearing President Donald Trump's name.
This decision has sparked outrage among those who know the story of Miller's bravery during World War II. Doris Miller's actions on December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor were nothing short of heroic.
As a cook on the USS West Virginia, he showed extraordinary bravery and selflessness by helping to move his mortally wounded captain to safety before taking control of an anti aircraft gun and shooting down at least one Japanese aircraft.
