Who assigns the names of the US Navy ships?

Who decides which ship gets what name? Is it the House and/or Senate Armed Services Committee? Someone in the office of the Secretary of the Navy or someone in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations. I have researched, but all I can find is that a name was assigned or that some group petitioned for a particular name. Not who did the actual assigning.
