Whereas the Navy proposes the procurement of 55 Littoral

for his contributions to achieving Greece’s independence 
in 1829; 
Whereas in 1829, the Michigan settlement of Woodruff’s 
Grove combined land acquired by three prominent settlers 
and changed its name to the City of Ypsilanti; 
Whereas Ypsilanti is located in the county that hosts the only 
Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps unit in Michigan; 
Whereas the NROTC unit prepares students from Eastern 
Michigan University, located in Ypsilanti, for service as 
officers in both the United States Navy and the United 
States Marine Corps; and 
Whereas the Littoral Combats Ships are designed to operate 
in littoral, or close-to-shore environments, and a Navy 
vessel the bearing the name U.S.S. Ypsilanti would help 
convey the American ideals of freedom and democracy to 
nations struggling to achieve democracy: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the Sec-
retary of the Navy should name a Littoral Combat Ship 
in honor of Ypsilanti, Michigan.
