Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship, one that bears the name of a gay rights icon, documents and sources show.

Military.com reviewed a memorandum from the Office of the Secretary of the Navy -- the official who holds the power to name Navy ships -- that showed the sea service had come up with rollout plans for the renaming of the oiler ship USNS Harvey Milk.

A defense official confirmed that the Navy was making preparations to strip the ship of its name but noted that Navy Secretary John Phelan was ordered to do so by Hegseth. The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional.

@SenSchumer
Erasing Harvey Milk’s name is disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot.
He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights.
Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.

Military vessels should be named after warriors who crushed their enemies and demonstrated courage in battle. Not after politicians, gay pedos, communists, or folk heroes.

Harvey Milk notoriously sexually abused a minor who later committed suicide, Chuck.

It was very stylish at the time under The great race baiter and POTUS.

In July 2016, Ray Mabus, then United States Secretary of the Navy, advised Congress that he intended to name the John Lewis-class oilers after prominent civil rights leaders, with this ship to be named in honor of gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

That is funny. It is a joke to have a military vessel named after an anti-gun activist.
Why not have a Destroyer named USS Bob Dylan? (i like some of his songs. why not?)

it’s pretty funny that when libs decide to tear down statues to our heroes they have to melt down the head of one of the greatest military commanders in american history but when we tear down statues to their heroes it’s just a pedophile

Remember when they melted down a Robert E. Lee statue?

Yep. Either rename it, or else impose a complete ban on firearms aboard the vessel...

The progression of the left defending Harvey Milk:

'Prove it! I never heard that!'
'That's a lie. Show me your sources!!'
'So what? He's an icon!'
'Omg... the age of consent was 16!!'
'Yeah well TRUMP'
