Congressman Bob Filner (D-California) has joined with several prominent LGBT civil rights leaders from San Diego and across the country, calling on the US Navy to name " … the next appropriate ship after Harvey Milk."
The late civil rights icon, Harvey Milk was a Navy veteran who began his service during the Korean War. In Korea, he served aboard the submarine rescue ship USS Kittiwake as a diving officer. Milk was also stationed at Naval Station, San Diego where he was a diving instructor. Milk, whose parents, both also served in the US Navy was honorably discharged at the rank of Lieutenant, junior grade.
The GLBT Historic Task Force (the Task Force) of San Diego County sent an official letter to Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, last week, requesting that Harvey Milk be considered as the namesake of a naval submarine, carrier or other vessel named "in his honor and memory."
San Diego City Commissioner Nicole Murray Ramirez a longtime gay- and Latino rights activist and chair of the Task Force, announced the launch of a national campaign in partnership with the Harvey Milk Foundation and the International Court System (a charitable services membership organization with chapters in 68 cities.)

Why can’t they just name a Castro bathhouse after ole’ Harvey instead?
Up periscope! ("No, up YOUR periscope")
Aw Gawd! Beer spit all over my monitor!
I guess it’s my fault though, I should have known not to click on this thread.
Must be a sub chaser
with a twinkie flag
back to the traditions of sodomy, rum, and the lash
I suppose it will be commanded by a Rear Admiral?

Put a fork in America. We’re done.
(I keep looking up for the big asteroid.)
Not just the US, but other countries as well.
I had The Wiggles on for my 3-year old. They were singing "Ring Around the Rosie", except they would substituted "tissues" for "ashes".
We are creating weak children.
we have a sub named for jimmy carter. that is understandable since he was a nuke and president but i don’t like naming ships after folks still living with the exception of medal of honor recipeients. we have one named after the EX marine traitor bastard murtha and they want to name lcs-10 after gabby giffords, whose only claim to fame is getting shot. i can think of 4000 deas servicemen who would deserve it more.
Just what I was thinking. Why not name it the USS Sodom and Gomorrah?
“on the good ship, wollypop.”
