A future expeditionary sea base ship will honor a Medal of Honor recipient, Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. John L. Canley, the Secretary of the Navy announced this week.

"To honor the remarkable Vietnam generation on this 245th birthday of the United States Marine Corps, ESB-6 will be named USS John L. Canley to honor a man who has exemplified all that has made our service strong, and our nation thrive," Secretary Kenneth J. Braithwaite said in a statement on Tuesday.
