Original Note:
Hegseth's claim to be acting apolitically is contrary to evidence. Many Navy ships are named after political figures. https://sgp.fas.org/crs/weapons/RS22478.pdf https://www.usamm.com/blogs/news/ships-named-after-presidents According to Navy documents, Hegseth, a Republican, is considering only ships named after Democratic and pro-civil rights figures for renaming. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-new-name-usns-harvey-milk-ships-named-for-civil-rights-leaders/ https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-navy-ships-that-could-renamed-pete-hegseth-2080759
