A brave sailor whose actions certainly deserve [re] highlighting, especially as we now recognise [hopefully] the conditions he [they] served under.
"To avoid politics entirely, perhaps a return to "real" names of distinction. Recycling ENTERPRISE is fantastic, WASP and KEARSARGE are spoken for, but RANGER, CORAL SEA, SARATOGA, INDEPENDENCE, LANGLEY, KITTY HAWK and CONSTELLATION, etc. are available as are MIDWAY and HORNET and others but probably not best to confuse them with the museum ships"
100% this!!

I just found this on YouTube and thought that it would be of interest to people reading this thread as it is a recent CBS news story about Miller and how his name was chosen for the new carrier. .
