Chancellorsville after the Confederate Civil War victory in Virginia, will be renamed the U.S.S.

The Navy on Nov. 29 denied Chinese claims that the Chancellorsville was forced out of the South China Sea by Chinese warships.

Lee was one of the most successful commanders of the war, defeating larger Union armies at the battles of Seven Days, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville.

The Chancellorsville was named for the Civil War battle and the Maury was named after a Confederate soldier.

The Navy’s 7th Fleet said the USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville conducted the routine mission “through waters where high seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply in accordance with international law.”
