Congress would recommend naming a Navy ship after pioneering Rear Admiral Alene Duerk.
Congress wants to name a Navy ship after Rear Admiral Alene Duerk, the first woman flag officer. This bill formally asks the Secretary of the Navy to name a vessel "U.S.S. Rear Admiral Alene Duerk" to honor her brave service. However, the Secretary of the Navy would still make the final decision.
Today, no U.S. Navy vessel is named after Rear Admiral Alene Duerk. If this bill becomes law, Congress would formally express its belief that a Navy ship should be named "U.S.S. Rear Admiral Alene Duerk," honoring her acts of valor and historic career.
