During the ceremony, Secretary Del Toro announced that the future Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer DDG-141 will be named USS Ernest E. Evans, for Medal of Honor recipient and Naval Academy graduate Ernest E. Evans. Secretary Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, is the ship's sponsor. Secretary Del Toro made the announcement during National Native American History Month. Evans was the first Native American in the Navy to earn the Medal of Honor and one of only two World War II destroyer captains to attain it.
