Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill prohibits the federal government from using any taxpayer money to rename, redesignate, or change the name of the aircraft carrier designated CVN-81, which is currently named the USS Doris Miller. The legislation applies to all federal funds and prevents any action that would alter the vessel's current designation. The bill was introduced in September 2026 and referred to the Senate Committee on Armed Services for consideration. The measure is short and straightforward, containing no funding amounts or specific timelines beyond its introduction date. It effectively locks in the ship's current name and prevents future administrations from changing it without congressional action to repeal this restriction.
