USS Harvey Milk
 
https://news.usni.org/2016/07/28/nav...st-harvey-milk

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.

Gives a new definition to the term "Rear Admiral".

Depending on how twisted your sense of humor is, it could be rather appropriate.

A fleet oiler......

So the Navy named a ship full of lube after a gay rights activist.....

:D

Nope, no more active naval bases here in the bay area.

I thought they had a Sub base. You know how it is all those Kali towns look alike.

Isn't the "boomer" base up near Seattle on the West Coast? We have one near where Pig lives, and even closer to where my Aunt lives.

Why does the Navy used powdered soap?




Takes longer to pick up when you drop it in the shower.
