Editorial:
The United States Navy honored the legacy of César Chávz by naming the last in the line of 14 resupply ships after the Chicano icon. As Navy Secretary Ray Mabus stated – the labor leader should be praised for his service to the military and country.
This was an honor well deserved and at the same time recognized the contributions of the NASSCO employees for whom a majority are Hispanic and the community of Barrio Logan where the ship yard is located.
