This bill amends Florida Statutes to officially designate the S.S. American Victory as the state's flagship. The current designation of the Western Union, a 130-foot historic sailing vessel, is removed from the law. The S.S. American Victory is described as a 455-foot historic steamship built in 1944, highlighting its significance and size compared to the previous vessel.

The effective date for this change is set for July 1, 2026. This legislative action reflects a shift in the state's recognition of its maritime heritage by promoting a vessel that represents a different era and type of maritime history.
