@pbsnews: The U.S. military is officially stripping the name of gay rights activist Harvey Milk from a Navy ship. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the move on social media Friday. It's part of a broader Trump administration push against diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Harvey Milk served in the Navy before entering politics, where he became one of the nation's first openly gay elected officials. He was assassinated in 1978. Hegseth says the ship will be renamed for Oscar V. Peterson, a Navy chief who posthumously received the Medal of Honor for valor during World War II. #pbsnewshour #newshour #pbsnews #harveymilk #usnavy #news #petehegseth #trumpadministration
Wanting to rename the ship is literally putting the politics in it

“Leaving it out of politics” yet renames a military fort after Robert E Lee, a confederate. If I’m correct

Naming the ship Harvey Milk was a political move in the first place.

Several Navy ships are named after famous civil rights leaders. Yet, the USS Milk is on the hit list? 100% petty politics.

Does this mean he will be changing the names from the 10 vessels that are named for former presidents and the numerous vessels named for other politicians?

USS John C. Stennis was named after A known segregationist who consistently opposed civil rights legislation and was described as a white supremacist by critics.
USS Lyndon B. Johnson was named after a war criminal who oversaw escalation in Vietnam via the Gulf of Tonkin incident and reportedly manipulated military records and commendations.
what's happening to those?

This is not telling the whole story, the ship was renamed by the Harvy Milks during the Biden administration, all the trip admin is doing is converting the ship back to her hold name
