I thought it was supposed to be called the Department of War?

Supposedly only congress can actually change the name, DoW is a "secondary name", whatever that means. But there is a lot of "supposedly" so the de facto reality seems different.

Maybe the "secondary name" is the part that comes after a colon, as in a book title:
Department of Defence: The Department of War
