6. USNS Medgar Evers

This ship is named for Medgar Evers. This is from the Wikipedia article on Eveers:

In 1943, Evers enlisted in the United States Army at the age of 17; he was prompted to do so by the racism he experienced at home and Charles' prior enlistment in the Army. Evers served in the 657th Port Company, a segregated unit of the Army's Transportation Corps, participating in the Normandy landings in June 1944. In France, Evers' unit was part of the Red Ball Express, which delivered supplies to Allied troops fighting on the frontlines.

Evers was a well-known civil rights activist in Mississippi and was the target of many death threats. In July 1963 he was shot in the driveway of his home. A local hospital first refused him admission because of his race, they later admitted him, he died a few hours later.

How long before Hogsbreath removes Evers' name from the ship?
