Grant">Ulysses S. Grant</a></b></figcaption></figure> <p>On March 5, 1869, now-President Grant nominated Borie to be Secretary of the Navy. Grant often appointed people who were non-elected or personal friends. For his first cabinet, Grant did not seek advice from Senators in his selections, partly out of national unity, and partly out of his military training to choose cabinet members as subordinates. A few of his nominees were exceptional in their service, most notably his effective Secretary of State <a href="/wiki/Hamilton_Fish" title="Hamilton Fish">Hamilton Fish</a>, Secretary of the Treasury <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Bristow" title="Benjamin Bristow">Benjamin Bristow</a>, and Attorney General <a href="/wiki/Alphonso_Taft" title="Alphonso Taft">Alphonso Taft</a>. But, in his initial stages of choosing his 1869 cabinet, it was a hit-or-miss matter. Borie had been very friendly to Grant on a visit to Philadelphia that he chaired. Grant, considering that he owed something to Borie and to the Republicans in the <a href="/wiki/Keystone_State" class="mw-redirect" title="Keystone State">Keystone State</a> announced that there would be a man from Pennsylvania in his cabinet. When pressed for details ("was it a member of the Republican machine under <a href="/wiki/Simon_Cameron" title="Simon Cameron">Simon Cameron</a>?") Grant's sense of humor took over and he became mysterious, talking about a "man from Philadelphia". </p><p>The question of who was this "man from Philadelphia" bothered the public, but the revelation it was Borie was met with amazement. Nobody had ever heard of him outside of Philadelphia. Borie had little interest in public office, and freely admitted that Admiral <a href="/wiki/David_Dixon_Porter" title="David Dixon Porter">David Dixon Porter</a> was the actual manager. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Renaming_ships_controversy">Renaming ships controversy</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Adolph_E._Borie&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Renaming ships controversy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:USS_Ajax_-_19-N-19-11-1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/USS_Ajax_-_19-N-19-11-1.jpg/200px-USS_Ajax_-_19-N-19-11-1.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="155" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/USS_Ajax_-_19-N-19-11-1.jpg/300px-USS_Ajax_-_19-N-19-11-1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/USS_Ajax_-_19-N-19-11-1.jpg/400px-USS_Ajax_-_19-N-19-11-1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5648" data-file-height="4369" /></a><figcaption>Borie renamed USS <i>Manayunk</i> as USS <i>Ajax</i> on June 15, 1869.</figcaption></figure> <p>Borie disliked the <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native American Indian</a> names borne by so many <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">United States Navy</a> ships of the post-<a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a> era, and during his very short term as Secretary of the Navy, had a great many vessels renamed after states of the Union, creatures and personages from classical Greek or Roman mythology, or names that conveyed power or strength. A sample of names that Borie selected were <a href="/wiki/USS_Wampanoag_(1864)" title="USS Wampanoag (1864)">"Florida"</a>, <a href="/wiki/USS_Saugus_(1863)" title="USS Saugus (1863)">"Centaur"</a>, and <a href="/wiki/USS_Winnebago_(1863)" title="USS Winnebago (1863)">"Tornado"</a>.
