Navy mulls stripping Black war hero’s name from aircraft carrier for Trump
海军考虑摘掉航母上黑人战争英雄的名字,换成特朗普
Navy officials are weighing whether to strip the name of one of World War II's most famed Black service members from a new aircraft carrier and instead possibly name the ship for President Donald Trump, according to three sources familiar with the matter, a move that would mark the unprecedented naming of a Navy vessel for a sitting president.
据三名知情人士透露,海军官员正在权衡是否把二战最著名的黑人士兵之一的名字从一艘新航母上摘掉,转而可能以唐纳德·特朗普总统为这艘船命名。此举将开创用在任总统命名海军舰艇的空前先例。
The carrier, which remains under construction in Virginia, was christened in name during Trump’s first administration, when the Navy announced the Ford-class ship would become the USS Doris Miller, honoring Miller's heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor, during a ceremony on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2020.
这艘仍在弗吉尼亚州建造的航母是在特朗普第一任期内正式命名的。2020年马丁·路德·金纪念日的仪式上,海军宣布这艘福特级航母将被命名为“多里斯·米勒”号(USS Doris Miller),以纪念米勒在珍珠港遇袭时的英勇行为。
