Sean Buck said at the renaming ceremony, according to a Navy press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renaming the hall is expected to cost the Navy $12,000, according to the naming commission\u2019s report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That report also calls for the Navy to change the name of Buchanan House and Buchanan Road, two academy fixtures named in honor of Franklin Buchanan, the academy\u2019s first superintendent who joined the Confederacy, rose to the rank of admiral and commanded several naval battles that killed hundreds of U.S. sailors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy has not announced the status of that renaming effort, and officials did not return a request for comment by Navy Times\u2019 deadline Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Naval Academy buildings were named after the traitors in 1915, when the \u201cLost Cause\u201d notion propagated the idea that the Confederate effort was a righteous battle for the rights of southern states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approximately 25 percent of academy midshipmen joined and fought for the Confederacy in 1861, according to the commission report. The commission did not recommended a change to a column in Memorial Hall that lists academy graduates who died during naval operations in service to the Confederacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe roll call simply states Confederate or U.S. service after the graduate\u2019s name,\u201d the commission report states. \u201cDue to the limited factual nature of the roll call, the Commission believes it may remain as structured.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commission also recommended renaming the guided-missile cruiser Chancellorsville, which is named after the location of a Confederate victory, as well as a ship named after Maury. The Navy has not provided further details on those efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Left unaddressed is the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, which was named after the segregationist senator known as the father of the modern navy. Stennis fought Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt\u2019s efforts to implement cultural changes in the service in response to racial unrest, retired Navy officer John Cordle wrote in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2022\/10\/11\/now-is-the-time-to-rename-the-carrier-john-c-stennis\/\" target=\"_blank\">an October opinion piece<\/a> calling for the carrier\u2019s name to be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/opinion\/commentary\/2022\/10\/11\/now-is-the-time-to-rename-the-carrier-john-c-stennis\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2782595.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Now is the time to rename the carrier John C.

It shapes the identity of who we are for future generations,\u201d the officer said, according to Cordle. \u201cChanging (Stennis\u2019 name) would show that we have faced our history \u2014 and learned from it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Correction: an earlier version of this report misstated the departments housed in Carter Hall.
