A Navy fuel ship will be named for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in recognition of her efforts to advance women's rights and gender equality, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said Thursday. The future John Lewis-class replenishment oiler — a ship that transfers fuel to the Navy's operating carrier strike groups — will be the eighth such vessel to be named for an historic figure who fought for civil and human rights. Others include former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, abolitionist and women's rights activist Sojurner Truth, gay rights icon Harvey Milk and civil rights leader John Lewis.

It just gets worse and worse...
The coming Chicom wake-up call may adjust some attitudes, but probably not.

Instead of the US Navy... Why not change their name to US Pansies... or US Tippy Toes... or US Rump Rangers... or US Girly-Men-Boys-Girls-Trans-Gay Lolli-Pops...

It's a really really old ship and it only turns to the left!! However, the lace collar around the bridge is a nice touch!

If I was in the Navy I would really be proud to serve on the USS Harvey Milk. I would just hope that we never took a torpedo in the stern.

Why not erect a statute of her somewhere? With all the ones that have been torn down, I'm sure they can find a space for her tiny self.

Going forward they just stop this crap of naming
anything after anyone in Government. Just name things "Tax Payer 1" and up from there.

The rudder is stuck so the ship only turns left.

Naming a relenishment oiler after an old battleship like Ruth Bader Ginsburg seems like an insult.

She must have been a warrior too to go on a Navy ship.

Although I hope that all aboard survive, I also hope the thing sinks right after the renaming.

Harvey Milk? I spent 6 years in the Navy back when ships were named for the Constitution, Kitty Hawk, Lincoln, Enterprise, etc.
Harvey Milk?? I think I'll just stow my Navy memorabilia up in the attic now. The Navy I served in is apparently no more.

Great. A naval ship that leans to the port side and losses power every once in a while, to recharge.

If the ship being named for her is a garbage scow I might - just might - get used to it.

No, that is entirely WRONG to name ships after stoopid politicians and judges. That judge was NOT deserving of a Naval vessel, not even a garbage scow.

To be "womaned" by transgendered and lesbian sailors and officers. The ship's colors are the rainbow flag of course.

If a ship or a boat is to be named after a person, it should be someone who served in the military, in combat.
