The USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) is a testament to American naval innovation and a tribute to a heroic figure in U.S. military history. Named after Messman Second Class Doris Miller, the ship honors his valor during the attack on Pearl Harbor and his status as the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross. The USS Doris Miller is the fourth Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier and represents the cutting edge of naval engineering and warfare capabilities.
