Die Tendenz, die eigene Geschichte umschreiben zu wollen, je nach Sujet, ist nicht nur ein europäisches Thema. Das nun bitte nicht falsch verstehen, der Kampf gegen Diskriminierung ist wichtig und wenn man sie selbst nicht erlebt, so ist es teils wohl schwierig, diese Ausgrenzung nachvollziehen zu können, aber diese Art der hysterischen Historienverweigerung (anders kann ich es leider nicht nennen) dürfte, so denke ich, nicht hilfreich sein und zielt am Problem vorbei...

Zitat:Naming Commission Still Undecided How To Handle Ships with Confederate Tieshttps://news.usni.org/2021/09/30/__trashed-10
A commission tasked with identifying military assets with names tied to the Confederacy has not yet visited two ships that could be renamed.
The Commission on the Naming of Items of the Department of Defense that Commemorate the Confederate States of America or Any Person Who Served Voluntarily with the Confederate States of America, which goes by the shorthand “The Naming Commission,” spent the past summer visiting military bases, mostly Army installations, which are named after members of the Confederacy. [...] The two ships the commission could visit are USNS Maury (T-AGS-66) and USS Chancellorsville (CG-62). [...]
Maury, an oceanographic survey ship, is named after Matthew Fontaine Maury, who laid the foundation for modern oceanography and is considered to have written the first oceanographic textbook. He resigned from the U.S. Navy and joined the Confederate States Navy. Maury was delivered in 2016. Chancellorsville is a guided-missile cruiser named after the Battle of Chancellorsville, a 1863 Confederate victory under the command of Gen. Robert E. Lee and Lt. Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.
