Well Chavez did enlist in the Navy in WWII and was in from 44-46 he was born in Arizona and actually was anti illegal immigration(farmers where hiring illegals to counter his unionizing efforts).

What exactly are you asking AVG?I assume they are naming it after him for both reasons his post service merits are viewed in different lights people though.Also other persons involved in civil rights have ships named after them Chavez is not the first, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USNS_Me...vers_(T-AKE-13).

Here is how it is done (naming ships that is) http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/weapons/RS22478.pdf (I just found this PDF)

I suppose that is the best source on the naming topic I suppose one could ask the Navy Public Affairs Office(I am not being smart Alec here they would have the official Navy answer)
