SAN DIEGO — The Navy’s purported decision to name a new cargo ship after the late civil rights leader and union activist Cesar Chavez on Tuesday drew conflicting reactions from two California lawmakers.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., criticized the decision, saying in an announcement that he was notified by a Navy official earlier Tuesday that the service planned to name the 14th and final ship in the Lewis-and-Clark class of cargo ships after Chavez, a spokesman for Hunter said.
