Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the secretary of the Navy to rename the oiler ship USNS Harvey Milk, according to a defense official.

The ship, which was launched in 2021 and named after the gay rights activist and Navy veteran, who was made to resign from the force because of his sexual orientation, is set to be officially renamed later this month, the official said. It is not clear what the new name will be, but the timing is notable given that June is Pride Month.

Military.com first reported the expected name change.



The Office of the Secretary of Defense did not respond to a request for comment.

It is rare for a ship to be renamed, and it has not happened on the orders of a defense secretary in recent memory.

The last time a ship was renamed in 2023, the move was based upon the recommendation of a congressional commission established to review names across the military with ties to the Confederacy. As a result of the study, the Navy decided to rename the cruiser USS Chancellorsville and research ship USNS Maury.

The USNS Harvey Milk is part of the John Lewis class of oiler ships that are named after civil rights leaders. Other ships in this class include the USNS Earl Warren, USNS Robert F. Kennedy, USNS Lucy Stone and USNS Sojourner Truth.

Given the class names, ALL of them should be renamed.

Military bases, schools, and streets have been renamed, monuments to national heroes removed.
This is nothing new.

Their 'rights' movement hoax was founded by pedoes, after all.

Harry Hay is the founder of gay liberation. This lovely interview with Hay by Anne-Marie Cusac was published in the September 1998 issue of The Progressive magazine. Then-editor Matt Rothschild called Hay "a hero of ours," writing that he should be a household name.
You sicko commies just adore kiddie rapers. See pages 4 and 5:

How long before Donnie wants a ship named after him?
 
Sean Parnell, a spokesman for the Pentagon, told CBS on Tuesday that the renaming of the USNS Harvey Milk is to realign the US military with the Trump administration's goal of "re-establishing the warrior culture" in the armed forces.


Ah I understand all too clearly.

The Democrats engaged in cancel culture and now the Republicans are doing it. More reason why neither party can be trusted.
Its a UniParty....the extent to which Trump has been co-opted is not clear yet but as MTG points out so much of what has been happening, for instance continuing our war against Russia, is not what the people voted for.

Something we see all over the place in Europe as well.
