    When Hegseth announced the decision to rename the ship, officials defended it as an effort to align with Trump and Hegseth’s objectives to “re-establish the warrior culture.”

    USNS Harvey Milk will be renamed after a World War II sailor who received the Medal of Honor, stripping the ship of the name of a slain gay rights activist who served during the Korean War.

    definitely an improvement to have a WWII name instead of a Korean War one.

    One of my hobbies is looking up the most esoteric US Navy veterans and then fantasising about them calling a ship after them so you have ships named after the guy who played Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince or the guy who wrote the theme song for Firefly or whatever
