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 bill specifies that the new designation will take effect on July 1, 2026. This change reflects a shift in the state's recognition of its maritime heritage, moving from a smaller sailing vessel to a larger steamship that represents a different era in naval history.
