A resolution to support the naming of certain United States Navy ships after notable civil rights leaders and to strongly encourage the Department of Defense not to change the names of such ships.

This resolution addresses the United States Navy's practice of naming its John Lewis-class fleet replenishment oilers after significant civil rights leaders. These ships play a crucial role in supporting Navy operations, and their naming honors figures such as John Lewis, Harvey Milk, Earl Warren, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, among others, recognizing their profound contributions to a more equal and just United States. The Senate unequivocally supports this naming convention, viewing it as an appropriate tribute to the advancement of civil rights. Furthermore, the resolution strongly encourages the Department of Defense to refrain from taking any action that would alter the names of these ships, thereby preserving the recognition of these historical figures.
