The U.S. Navy has now launched a new ship named in honor of radical gay-rights activist Harvey Milk. The ship, named USNS Harvey Milk, was christened by a transgendered veteran before being set to sea.

As The Navy Times reports:

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Navy ship named for slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk, who served four years in the Navy before being forced out, was christened and launched in San Diego Bay on Saturday.

The replenishment oiler USNS Harvey Milk slid down the shipyard ways after a bottle of champagne was smashed on the bow by former Navy officer Paula M. Neira, clinical program director for the John Hopkins Center for Transgender Health.

Milk’s nephew, Stuart Milk, and Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro watched the traditional ceremony.

“The secretary of the Navy needed to be here today, not just to amend the wrongs of the past, but to give inspiration to all of our LGBTQ community leaders who served in the Navy, in uniform today and in the civilian workforce as well too, and to tell them that we’re committed to them in the future,” Del Toro said.

Milk was shot and killed while serving as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1978.

  1. The farther we stray from god’s path we invite condemnation upon ourselves. My righteousness return to our republic.

  2. I’m so glad I retired from the military sixteen years ago already. This new woke military and myself would not have been mutually inclusive, and I’m sure that’s fine with many also.

  3. The official song for this ship is “In the Navy!” by the Village People. The official ship of semen nationwide. Absolutely disgraceful not to mention a slap in the face to those who have to serve on this ship. I guess it’s fitting that this tub will be transporting petroleum products. The name would of been best used for a garbage scow.

  4. My Father, a Navy Veteran in World War II, is turning over in his grave as we speak. He’d disavow the Navy for this crime and destruction of a once great fighting unit of the United States of America.

  5. That is a disgrace to our military. I am so disappointed in my military and the so called leaders. Y’all are like Biden-Harris destroying everything you touch in this great country. Enjoy your time because it will end soon. God will deal with everyone that is evil.

  6. More fitting name for the new LGBTQ ship named for a transgender, Harvey Milk, would have been “HARVEY’S MILK” and it should have been christened with a champagne bottle full of milk!
    How many hundred million people are sick to death of all this “woke” sh-t? Must it be continously celebrated and spoon fed to the general population over and over and over and over and over?

  7. Thank s to the Obama administration for opening that can of worms!! Wow ! Hope that doesn’t come back and bite them. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸?

  8. This is ridiculous, if a confused man like it in the butt from another man, go for it just do not force your warped sex life on me or my country.

  9. Being retired USN, I would had been insulted to be ordered aboard this ship and would have been in contact with my detailer for reassignment. Navy going woke is unacceptable.

  10. I have no objection of naming a ship after a Man or women who served in the navy but I do object to doing so simply because he or she was gay. The honor given should be related to the performance of the individual.

  11. Well there we go…..One thing after another each week. I just finished watch “The Plot to Destroy the President” . Absolutely worth renting, I know this Russia stuff was not true, this places
    details for others not following information in order. So reckless.
