Rear Admiral Alene Duerk Ship Renaming Act of 2025

This bill states the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Navy should name a U.S. Navy ship the "U.S.S. Rear Admiral Alene Duerk." It lists her Navy service, including her work as a nurse during World War II and her 1972 selection as the first woman to become a flag officer. It also lists the medals she received. The bill expresses Congress's view and does not itself require the Navy to name a ship.
