Prohibit renaming USS Doris Miller (CVN-81)
Bars the use of any federal money to rename or redesignate the aircraft carrier CVN-81 from the USS Doris Miller, locking in that name against future administrative changes.
- Population Scope Low The prohibition directly affects only the narrow set of federal officials and Navy (Department of the Navy) personnel with authority over naval vessel naming and designation.
- Budgetary Magnitude Low No funds are authorized, appropriated, or obligated; the provision restricts spending rather than directing any dollar amount.
- Legal / Regulatory Depth Low The prohibition constrains a single discrete administrative action — renaming one specific vessel — rather than altering substantive law across a regulated population or restructuring any program or authority.
- Degree of Discretion Granted Low The provision eliminates discretion entirely by imposing an absolute funding bar with no agency waiver, exception, or delegated rulemaking authority.
- Implementation & Enforcement Burden Low No new enforcement infrastructure, penalties, or compliance obligations are created; the funding bar is self-executing against federal appropriations processes.
- Temporal Commitment High Persists indefinitely until Congress affirmatively acts to repeal it.

Summary
This bill would ban the use of federal money to rename or redesignate the aircraft carrier (CVN-81) away from its current name, the USS Doris Miller. Doris Miller was a Navy messman who showed great bravery during the attack on Pearl Harbor and became the first Black American to receive the Navy Cross. The bill locks in that name and prevents any future attempt to change it using federal funds.
