Construction began Friday on a Navy ship named after Harvey Milk, a former San Francisco supervisor and activist who was fatally shot months after becoming the first openly gay man elected in California more than forty years ago.
Almost 30 years before his election, Milk was a Naval dive officer based in San Diego. His nephew, Stuart Milk, attended Friday’s event and said naming the ship — known as a fleet oiler — after his uncle sends a message to people around the world.

There was a thread earlier about almond milk, as in how do you milk an almond?
See where I’m going?
Soooo, how do you milk a Harvey?
Where would you like The Internet to be delivered?
That will get hung up in congress...
...and it won't have hung itself!
It didn’t sink itself!
I recall the SNL skit with John Belushi.
It will have a very active poop deck.
This whole asinine project was created under the Obama Administration. Just another slap at our nation by Democrats who despise this country.
Worst name ever.
Really??? Naming a naval vessel after a queer???? Or, is this an appeasement to the woman who loved him most, Sen. Feinstein? Mr. Milk was shot down in front of her, remember?
Milk was a known pedophile. . .
I thought the name “Sassafras Tea” was next in line for Navy ships.
Because since Obama there are homosexual pedophiles in the military.
Buggery and the lash are a mavy tradition. Well, for the Brits anyway.
Massage oil.
I think the message is prey on underage boys and one day the navy will name a ship after you.
...properly, it would be the USNS Milk, or Unites States Naval Ship...run by the Military Sealift Command..?? or something like that (”back in the day...” when I was a snot-nosed Seaman Apprentice, it was the MSTS, or Military Sea Transport Service). USNS ships are not considered as commissioned warships and thus do not carry the U.S.S. (United States Ship) designations...
“...known as a fleet oiler...”
Well this ship be squirting stuff on other ships.
Yech.
President Trump can order the ship’s name be changed.
