Washington, June 10 (RHC)-- The United States Navy is working to ban the Confederate battle flag from all public spaces on Navy installations, ships and aircraft, the Navy announced, as the military and the country as a whole grapple with questions about racial inequality.
"The order is meant to ensure unit cohesion, preserve good order and discipline, and uphold the Navy’s core values of honour, courage and commitment," the Navy said in a statement.
The move follows the Marine Corps ordering the removal of the Confederate flag from all its installations, including prohibiting depicting the flag on mugs and car bumpers.
