   The U.S. Navy has finally shed the last two ship names that honored the   
   Confederacy — and renamed one of them in honor of a man whose life story   
   reads like an action movie hero.   
      
   The USS Chancellorsville is now called the USS Robert Smalls, the man who   
   stole a Confederate steamer loaded with guns and delivered it to the Union   
   Navy, delivering himself and 16 other crew and their families from   
   slavery.   
      
   "It is a move much more consistent with the Navy's values," said Capt.   
   Edward Angelinas, who commands the ship. "Going from a Confederate victory   
   to this incredible story of a former slave, who commandeered a Confederate   
   ship and turned it over to the Union Navy."   
      
   Rebel generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson won a decisive victory   
   over the U.S. military at Chancellorsville, Va., in 1863. As recently as   
   1989 the U.S. Navy saw fit to name a warship for that battle. Just seven   
   years ago there was still a portrait of Lee and Jackson displayed in the   
   ship's wardroom.   
      
   The U.S. military is in the process of renaming all the bases and warships   
   that honor the Confederacy, including civil war generals who enslaved   
   people and fought against the U.S. military. The newly christened USS   
   Robert Smalls may be the most direct repudiation of that legacy.
