The choice of USS Doris Miller marked the first time an aircraft carrier would honor an enlisted sailor, and the first aircraft carrier to be named for an African American. Asked about his decision to name the carrier after Miller, Modly told CNN that it was recommended to him by a group of retired Black admirals, and that he believes “one of our most powerful warships should bear the name of a sailor like Miller to bring greater attention to what makes our Navy so unique — and great.”
I don't know about the wolf part, but the term Herr was/is super common when referring to somebody male. Not only does it mean Mr or sir, its part of German etiquette to use that term. Like how Japanese add San to a persons name to show respect. Hitler would not need to insist people call him Herr, its just how he would be referred to.
