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
