Rear Admiral Alene Duerk Ship Renaming Act of 2025
This bill is a commemorative resolution (not a law) recommending the U.S. Navy name a vessel after Rear Admiral Alene Duerk. It directs the Secretary of the Navy to honor her by naming a ship "U.S.S. Rear Admiral Alene Duerk," recognizing her service as the first woman promoted to rear admiral in the Navy. The bill details her WWII nursing service, postwar career progression, and military medals, but does not create new policy or funding. It is a non-binding expression of congressional sentiment regarding naval vessel naming.
