Naming Commission Still Undecided How to Handle Ships with Confederate Ties

From the September 30, 2021, USNI News by Heather Mongilio.

The full name of this commission to rename any and everything Confederate is a whopper.  It is:  

The Commission on Naming of Items of the Department of Defense that Commemorate the Confederate States of America or Any Person Who Served Voluntarily with the Confederate States.

It goes by the shorthand name "The Naming Commission."

Right now, they are busy visiting the military bases named after Confederate leaders, but there is the possibility  that two ships will also fall under the axe as for their names.

They are:

USNS Maury  (T-AGS-66)

USS Chancellorsville  (CG-62)

--Old B-Runner
