The House press release says 73 members pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao to keep the USS Doris Miller name, and lists Rep. Salud Carbajal among the signers. The letter concludes: "We urge you to reject this plan and ensure that CVN-81 bears the name USS Doris Miller."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Carbajal took concrete action within the lookback window by signing an official House letter to DOD and Navy leadership matching the commitment's requested pressure campaign. This shows serious effort but not final delivery because the agencies had not publicly rejected a rename plan.

Stars and Stripes reported that the White House and Pentagon had not issued statements on the reported possible name change, DOD and HII referred questions to the Navy, and a Navy spokesman said Friday the "Navy has nothing to announce at this time."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Latest reporting in the lookback window indicates no formal agency decision rejecting or adopting a rename had been announced. The commitment remains unresolved despite congressional pressure.

Carbajal materially advanced the promise by joining an official congressional letter pressing the Defense Department and Navy to reject any CVN-81 renaming plan and keep the USS Doris Miller name. However, available reporting as of August 29, 2026 indicates the Navy had not announced a decision rejecting the rename or otherwise ensuring the carrier will remain USS Doris Miller, so the full promised outcome has not been delivered.
