Do read @bellwak’s excellent writeup of Doris Miller, who never got to see his impact on civil rights. Two years after Pearl, he was killed when a Japanese torpedo sank the USS Liscome Bay, the deadliest ever incident for a U.S. carrierhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/01/19/doris-miller-pearl-harbor/ …

Ok this is good but we should have a conversation about why we're building new aircraft carriers at $13 billion a piece and hundreds of billions throughout their career. Slapping a feel good story on an example of government waste and fraud doesn't make it better.

I’d say to make sure Pearl Harbor doesn’t happen again

Amazing, right? He finally is getting more national recognition, but I bet most of our local kids only know his name because of the Y.

He had a frigate named after him in the 70's and 80's USS Miller FF 1091 - thrilled to see that he now has a carrier that will be in service for 50 years or more

I remember the Miller!

One of the few redeeming qualities of “Pearl Harbor” (whose overall 24% on
@RottenTomatoes’ “tomatometer” is well-deserved) was its making MAtt2c Miller’s heroism known more broadly.https://youtu.be/mmmk41JEUW0 -
There is a scene in "Tora Tora Tora" (1970) of Doris Miller although he is not specifically named. I never knew his name until this thread, so thank you to everyone for all the great additional information.

At Pearl Harbor the people around him were also pretty sure he shot down a Zero with one of those big deck mounted machine guns but it couldn't be documented. A gun he'd never fired before, (which took the eye/hand coordination of Satchel Paige or Wild Bill Hickok). Amazing.
