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 Senate resolution expresses strong bipartisan support for naming the John Lewis-class fleet replenishment oilers after notable civil rights leaders and urges the Department of Defense not to change the names of these ships. It notes that the class is already associated with John Lewis and that additional ships in the class have been or could be named after other civil rights figures. While the resolution signals legislative backing and respect for civil rights legacy, it is non-binding and does not, by itself, compel changes in naming decisions; it serves as a formal statement of policy preference and guidance to the Department of Defense.
