What this amendment would do

This amendment was submitted by Mr. Graham to be added to bill S. 4784. Its purpose is to establish the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Navy should name a Navy ship in honor of the Battle of Cowpens.

Key Details

  • The Battle of Cowpens took place on January 17, 1781, and is described as the turning point of the war in the South.
  • Two previous warships were named after this battle:
    • The USS Cowpens (CVL-25), a light aircraft carrier in World War II nicknamed the Mighty Moo.
    • The USS Cowpens (CG-63), commissioned in 1991 and decommissioned in 2024, which also used the nickname Mighty Moo.
  • The amendment notes that there is currently no ship in the United States Navy that carries the name and tradition of the Mighty Moo.
