Originally to be named for Dory Miller, a mess attendant who manned an anti-aircraft battery during the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Navy has stopped referring to it by that name in recent months.

Honestly, it seems appropriate since it will be the first CVN built according to Trump's revised plans to restore steam catapults, hydraulic weapons lifts, and to restore the position of the ship's island command center. They expect to lay down the keel late this year, with delivery of the ship in 2034.

VP_Spiro_T_CheneyMiller was killed less than two years after Pearl Harbor:
“ In the early hours of 24 November the escort carrier and flagship USS Liscome Bay was sunk by the Japanese submarine I-175, which had arrived near Makin just a few hours before. A single torpedo, launched as part of a torpedo spread by I-175, detonated the Liscome Bay's aircraft bomb stockpile, causing an explosion which engulfed the entire ship, causing it to sink quickly. The attack on the Liscome Bay accounted for the majority of American casualties in the Battle of Makin. Of the 916 crewmen of Liscome Bay, 702 perished (54 officers and 648 enlisted men), including the flagship's admiral and task force group commander, Rear Admiral Henry M. Mullinnix, Captain Irving Wiltsie, and Pearl Harbor Navy Cross recipient Cook Second Class Doris Miller.”
He was a loser and a sucker.

By the time it is launched, the "Trump" name will be erased and the carrier will be the USS Miller again.
