The Navy is set to name a ship after the gay rights icon and San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, according to a Congressional notification obtained by USNI News.

The July 14, 2016 notification, signed by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, indicated he intended to name a planned Military Sealift Command fleet oiler USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO-206). The ship would be the second of the John Lewis-class oilers being built by General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, Calif.

How fitting. It puts to sea with 84 seamen and comes back with 42 couples.

Ha ha!, it looks like the Navy's got a sense of humor... a ship full of lubricants.

And look at how those lubricants get delivered:

The theme song for the USS HARVY MILK will be “ in the Navy” by the Village People.

It might be appropriate at this time to remember this man.

Daniel James White 1946-1985.

He was a policeman, a firefighter and veteran. He served in the Vietnam war and was in the 101st Airborne. He had demonstrated compassion and decency as a police officer. He stood out as one who went against police excesses. He resigned his job which was a lucrative one on principle. He then found making a living was extremely hard to bring in al living wage.

He then asked for his old job back. It took a lot for his pride to do that. The "gays" actively sabotaged his re hiring. It is said that the authority was willing to let things pass and re hire him.

The spiteful merchants of human rights and compassion, mixed with tolerance, cut the feet right under him. He then lost it and murdered the two men he thought responsible.Had the "gays" shown some human decency, this tragedy would never have happened.

It makes me angry. I cannot say more than that. I know people find it funny, but I simply cannot. It is a slap in the face of anyone who has ever served honorably.

I'm still holding out for the USS Arnold A. Schwarzenegger.

Maybe President Trump will appoint Arnie as Secretary of the Navy. He likes secretaries.

What did Harvey Milk ever do for the defense of the United States? Absolutely nothing.

Hey, Navy, you couldn’t find any real heroes to name ships after? Let me help. Chris Kyle. Danny Dietz. Matt Axelson.

Re “I’m the Greatest Captain of the Queen’s Navy”

HMS Pinafore? Saw Martyn Green in three Dorley Carte light operas in the 50’s including the Mikado, HSM Pinafore and Pirates of Penzance.

However, with Ray Mabus as Secy of the Navy, the song should be retitled, “I’m the Greatest Captain of the Queer’s Navy”.

Fire HANG Mabus and revoke this farce on your first day in office, President Trump.

I reiterate, hang the sonuvabitch.

Harvey Milk a hero – really?

by LISA on NOVEMBER 11, 2013 in BLOG
The state of California recently came up with a new state holiday: Harvey Milk Day. The US postal service even came up with a Harvey Milk commemorative postage stamp. So….Who was Harvey Milk? The short answer is that he was a San Francisco city commissioner. He became famous for being one of the first openly homosexual candidates to achieve public office. Therefore, he has become a hero to the homosexual movement. However, if you look deeper, things become very worrisome. Mr. Milk was also a rapist with a preference for underage boys that had substance abuse problems. He apparently considered himself a mentor to these young boys. He would encourage them to (among other things) run away from home. One of his victims, Jack McKinley, unwisely listened to and followed the” wit and wisdom” of Mr. Milk. Years later, McKinley committed suicide presumably because of his angst about his experiences with this pederast.

What does it say about a movement, when it pulls its heroes from the ranks of people like Harvey Milk?

Sooooo....the administration is honoring a pedophile.
