The Navy is set to name a ship after the gay rights icon and San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, according to a Congressional notification obtained by USNI News. The July 14, 2016 notification, signed by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, indicated he intended to name a planned Military Sealift Command fleet oiler USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO-206). The ship would be the second of the John Lewis-class oilers being built by General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, Calif. The Secretary of the Navy’s office is deferring releasing additional information until the naming announcement, a Navy official told USNI News on Thursday. Mabus has said the John Lewis-class – named after civil rights activist and congressman Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – would be named after civil rights leaders.

You think it is funny to murder a civil rights activist if the people whose rights he defends are gay? Surely you cannot be that bigoted. Please explain |

The ship they named after him is a fleet oiler. The job of a fleet oiler (which is not a warship) is meet up with warships in the middle of the ocean, jam its hose into the warship's orifice and then pump it full of viscous fluids... Here in this video you will see a fleet oiler servicing two warships at the same time. It is the ultimate pivot man... https://youtu.be/l1Y7WVBFk9I It is an honor to get any Naval vessel named after you but considering who Milk was, choosing an oiler for him was probably more than a coincidence. This folks, was somebody in the navy making a joke that few non-navy people would get. Edited by Demagogue, Jul 29 2016, 08:55 PM.

Chill, I explained the little inside joke the navy made in my previous post. I was not making fun of Milk, I barely know anything about the guy beyond the fact that he was a homosexual mayor which I honestly don't give a dang about. Edited by Demagogue, Jul 29 2016, 08:52 PM.

He probably would. It was not a mean joke. Just the kind of thing a Naval officer would do as a joke when he got the order to name a ship after Milk. |

It's the Obama NAVY allright. And that Marine General who spoke at the DNC convention sees absolutely nothing wrong with this picture. There's a difference between tolerance and promotion. I will never except Sodomy and a norm. |

I think we all already know you don't accept normal... As far as not "excepting" Sodomy...fine, don't participate in it; I'm sure thousands of gay or lesbian folks are cheering right now just knowing you've removed yourself from the dating pool... |

Oh the double meanings are fairly deep here. Milk was a homosexual Mayor of San Francisco. The story in Navy circles about why there are so many homosexuals in San Francisco is that it was the dumping ground for sailors who were caught in the act if you will. The Navy has a history of naming ships after great servicemen or leaders of our country. The current SecNav though is a bit obsessed with naming ships after civil rights leaders. Not everyone on the Navy is OK with this pattern. So when he gave the order for a ship to be named after Milk I am sure one of those line officers who actually make these things happen thought "you know what? I have the perfect ship to name after Milk". |

No doubt at the ship’s christening, some DoD official will tout the glories of diversity and LGBT rights and how modern and trendy the New Military really is. Meanwhile… Our enemies are laughing themselves into a tither. Let’s face it, a majority of gay men don’t exactly exhibit the most martial qualities needed to wage war. When you think of the male homosexual community, images of Broadway choreographers, Hollywood producers, antiques dealers and art critics instantly pop into your cabeza. No doubt the USNS Harvey Milk will strike terror into the hearts of our enemies. What’s next, an aircraft carrier named the USS Liberace, a destroyer called the USS Charles Nelson Reilly, a submarine dubbed the USS Ellen DeGeneres? The USNS Harvey Milk activation is just another event in the long line of lunacy that has besieged the military since the Kenyan Commander in Chief took the oath of office. |
