It's the USNS Harvey Milk, thank you. A supply ship, not a combatant and not a Navy ship.

I stand corrected. I do know the ship will go both ways!

What’s wrong with a supply ship ???

My grandfather was an able seaman on the SV Morning which was a supply ship...

but he went to the Antarctic with Scott and Shackleton in October 1903...

I found the ship’s manifest in the National Archives in London (Kew)
