It if was done because of the pro-slavery activities of Taney, these would be mentioned - but they are not. Therefore, for me, it makes no sense to blame "cancel culture".
By the way: you wrote that it would be wrong to focus only on one aspect of history. That is correct. But that is exactly what is criticized when people like Roger B. Taney are honoured, but the their wrongdoings are not mentioned. In a museum ship, both should be possible - in case of a monument or a name of an active warship that is difficult.
The ambivalence of the founding fathers of the USA is tragic and had dramatic consequences. On the one hand, they wanted to implement human rights and democracy and went further with that than most others in their times. On the other hand, they did not took the meaning of "human rights" literally and denied them to both the slaves and Native Americans - and denied the right to vote not only to those, but also to half of the remaining population, which got it only in 1920. That ambivalence is not something special for the US, but a characteristic element of the Age of Enlightenment.
