Based on analysis of 2 sections of legislative text.

• Directs the Secretary of the Navy to name a vessel in honor of Rear Admiral Alene Duerk.
• Recognizes Duerk’s World War II nursing service and later Navy career, including her selection as the first woman flag officer in the Navy.
• Is a ceremonial expression of congressional intent rather than a legal or funding mandate.
• Includes a short-title provision for easy citation.
• Does not create new programs, appropriate funds, or impose requirements on state/local governments.
• Affects Navy naming traditions and provides formal congressional recognition of Duerk’s service.
• Implementation depends on the Navy’s existing naming procedures; the bill does not itself rename an existing ship or allocate resources.
