# List of United States Navy ships commemorating the Confederate States of America

The table below is a list of United States Navy ships named after persons and places commemorating the Confederate States of America. The US Navy has named at least 26 ships after persons, who fought voluntarily with the Confederacy against the United States of America or after a victorious battle for the Confederacy. Currently two active ships exist which fell under this category – USS Chancellorsville (CG-62) and USNS Maury (T-AGS-66) – until their renaming in March 2023.
With the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 in January 2021, the Naming Commission was tasked by Congress to develop plans to "remove all names, symbols, displays, monuments, and paraphernalia that honor or commemorate the Confederate States of America or any person who served voluntarily with the Confederate States of America from all assets of the Department of Defense." In September 2022 the Naming Commission recommended to rename the cruiser USS Chancellorsville (CG-62) and oceanographic survey ship USNS Maury (T-AGS-66), with the new names to be decided by the Secretary of the Navy. In March 2023 Chancellorsville was renamed USS Robert Smalls (CG-62) and Maury was renamed USNS Marie Tharp (T-AGS-66), removing all remaining ship names which commemorated the Confederate States of America.
