\nArtists conception of USNS Harvey Milk<\/em><\/p>\n

On 06 November 2021, the U.S. Navy christened a John Lewis class replenishment oiler, the future USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO 206), during a ceremony held in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n

USNS Harvey Milk will be the second of its class of underway replenishment oilers, and will be operated by the U.S. Military Sealift Command to support ships of the United States Navy.<\/p>\n

LT Milk joined the Navy in 1951 during the Korean War, serving four years as an officer and dive instructor.<\/p>\n

Thanks for that, Ray.<\/p>\n

Navy launches ship named for gay rights leader Harvey Milk<\/h3>\n

By Associated Press<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Milk\u2019s nephew, Stuart Milk, and Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro watched the traditional ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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\u2019re committed to them in the future,\u201d Del Toro said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

May God bless her and all who sail in her. Thanks to a couple of the usual suspects for the head’s up.
\n*sigh*<\/p>\n
