The fleet oiler is essential to the Navy’s ability to project power and keep the sea lanes of communication open.
It’s a shame they disgraced this ship class with such a name.

Oh, that’s a most important ship in the scheme of things. a ‘fleet oiler’. wouldn’t be right putting his name on a combat vessel.

The jokes just write themselves: “The USaNuS Harvey Milk is filled up with seamen, and ready to deliver a load of lube to the fleet. Ship Ahoy, Thailor!” :P

Harvey Milk was a corrupt, radical slimeball who was a booty-buddy of fellow leftie Jim Jones. The naming of a naval vessel after this poofter had to have been another obamination.

instead of an oiler make it a garbage scow that is loaded and discharges cargo from the aft.

“” “” naming the ship — known as a fleet oiler””” “
Navy or USNS?
They have a sense of humor though.
Would they have a rear admiral and butt pirates there?

Most of their sea duties will be “milk runs”.
