## Summary

**This bill would express that the Secretary of the Navy should name a future Ford-class aircraft carrier "Doris Miller"** to honor Mess Attendant Third Class Doris "Dorie" Miller. It summarizes Miller’s life and acts of valor at Pearl Harbor—moving a wounded captain to safety, manning an anti-aircraft gun without formal training and shooting down attacking aircraft, helping evacuate shipmates, receiving the Navy Cross as the first Black sailor so honored, and dying when USS Liscome Bay was torpedoed—and frames the naming as a tribute to his place in Navy history.
