US Navy must rename warships that have ‘racist’ and Confederate names, policy task force says<\/h3>\n

The US Navy should rename warships and other assets that have racist connotations, as part of a modernization drive to promote diversity, the task force that shapes navy policy has recommended.
\n“Certain Navy ship names have been highlighted by Congress and in the media for connections to confederate or white supremacist ideologies,” Task Force One Navy said in its report, published on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 141-page report called for a review to “identify assets honoring those associated with the Confederacy and identify assets named after racist, derogatory or culturally insensitive persons, events or language.”<\/p>\n

The shake-up will likely affect the guided-missile cruiser Chancellorsville, which takes its name from the 1863 Civil War battle that was won by the Confederacy.<\/p>\n

Also in line for a name change is the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, called after the former senator who campaigned against racial equality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is possible re-commission a ship that has been de-commed, USS Missouri (BB-63) and others comes to mind. Those were not for name changes. Read the entire article here: RT.com<\/a><\/p>\n
