in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

No two Navy ships can share the same name at once. The Navy Secretary can rename any ship the Navy buys. This keeps ship names unique and lets the Secretary fix naming conflicts.

(a) At any given time, no two vessels in the Navy can carry the exact same name. (b) If the Navy buys a ship, the Secretary of the Navy has the power to rename it — for example, to avoid a naming conflict or to give it a name that fits Navy tradition.
