US Navy launches ship to commemorate gay rights activist Harvey Milk

I do not really agree with the naming of ships being used as a political tool/reward but damn watching people's heads explode over this has been fun as hell. One of the more entertaining threads in the past few days
I agree. Harvey Milk was a bad choice, but watching this own the homophobes is almost worth it.

There isn't even a ship named after Martin Luther King. So what the fuck is up with pushing Harvey Milk to the front of the line?

US Navy ships are usually named after naval heroes or famous naval battles. Carriers are named after Presidents and cabinet-level officers. Submarines are named after states.

There is only one navy ship named after a black person, and he was a hero at Pearl Harbor. And he rightly deserves to have a ship named after him rather than MLK or Milk.

This politicalization of ship-naming is against naval tradition.
 
Actually, it isn't a bad idea. Having a lavender painted battleship called the USS Buttfuck would put all of the limp wristed light in the loafer type sailors on the same boat.
