The leadership of the US Navy is discussing the possibility of naming a new aircraft carrier after President Donald Trump. The ship was originally to be named after the first black sailor in the United States Navy to receive the award, Doris Miller. NBC TV channel reports this.

According to sources, the possibility of changing the name of the Gerald Ford-class aircraft carrier has been discussed for several months. The decision to name the ship after Donald Trump will be made by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao.

Miller, who distinguished himself in repelling the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, became the first black sailor to receive the U.S. Navy's second highest award, the Navy Cross. According to NBC, they want to posthumously award him the Order of Honor. “Destroyers are often named after Commanders of the Order of Honor, and aircraft carriers are often named after presidents,” the report says.
