“In 1993, Chevron named a [oil] supertanker after her, the 129,000-ton SS Condoleezza Rice. But in the face of criticism about the Bush administration’s ties to big oil–including a suit against Chevron charging human rights abuses in Nigeria–the company quietly renamed the tanker the Altair Voyager in the spring of 2001 [according to a San Francisco Chronicle article on May 5, 2001].”
