Defense Secretary declares, 'We are taking the politics out of ship naming' as Pelosi condemns change

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a Navy oil tanker named after gay rights leader Harvey Milk will be renamed after Medal of Honor recipient Oscar V. Peterson. 

"We are taking the politics out of ship naming," he wrote on X along with a video announcing the move. 

Milk was California’s first openly gay politician, who was shot and killed inside San Francisco city hall by former San Francisco supervisor Dan White. The ship, a fleet replenishment oiler, was originally named after him in 2016 under President Barack Obama. 

He served four years in the Navy in the Korean War but left due to his sexuality. 

Peterson was awarded the Medal of Honor after his death, having died of his wounds during battle in World War II in an act of self-sacrifice that saved lives. 

"People want to be proud of the ship they’re sailing in," Hegseth said of the change. "We're not renaming the ship to anything political. This is not about political activists, unlike the previous administration."

Peterson, who spent 20 years in the Navy, was in charge of running the steam engine in the U.S.S. Neosho when it came under Japanese fire in the Philippines in 1942. 

On May 7, 1942, the Neosho was severely damaged during the Battle of the Coral Sea. Peterson and other members of his repair party were badly injured, but Peterson managed to close four bulkhead steam valves. He sustained third-degree burns in the process, but the move kept the ship afloat. On May 11, the U.S.S. Henley rescued 123 survivors from the Neosho, and Peterson died two days later from his wounds. 

The renaming comes amid a push from Hegseth to remove DEI and "woke" policies from the Department of Defense. 

When the move was first reported earlier this month, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the move a "shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American Dream."

"As the rest of us are celebrating the joy of Pride Month, it is my hope that the Navy will reconsider this egregious decision," Pelosi said in a statement.

Not any news that the Trump administration hates LGBTQ folks, as confirmed by this decision.

Good day. A disgrace was undone. Milk was a predator and a pedophile.

I can’t imagine the crap the sailors of the good ship Harvey Milk had to endure from sailors on other ships etc

Wow didn’t realize this but it’s all out there. How come little squissy never mentioned this

 

IN ADDITION to raping teens after drugging them,

HARVEY MILK was a JIM JONES advocate who went so far as to step into a custody battle to argue on JIM JONES' behalf.  

The kid ended up Jonestown

 

Harvey Milk was, in fact, a pederast and a sexual predator.

One of Milk’s victims was a 16 year old runaway from Maryland named Jack Galen McKinley.

Years later McKinley committed suicide.

seems like you shouldn't be fighting to keep illegals here if all those things matter to you

You must really suck at multitasking because you have no clue what it is. 

 

The country should all stop doing things until you can afford to pay for a dozen eggs that cost $3. 

If there is a problem with a bridge in some state, all road repairs across the nation should stop because that bridge needs the full country's attention. 

If there are homeless all over San Francisco, the government should stop defending the border until homelessness is fixed. 

If someone has two kids and one has the flu and other needs a ride to practice, the whole family needs to be shut down until the kid with the flu feels better. 

If a company has a problem with one IT enhancement project, all areas of the company need to be shut down until that enhancement is finished. 

If you have a problem at work you should cut off taking care of your family until you fix your problem at work. 

If you make a large breakfast but overcook the bacon you shouldn't eat your eggs, oatmeal, toast, potatoes, and fruit until you go back to the store and buy and cook some more bacon.

This is fun. 

Pay attention mdcack, there are a lot of people that can do a lot of different things at once in this country. We get it, you liberals can't manage that, but us normals can.

I’m not really defending that either, stupid. I’m saying it’s an awful petty thing for the POTUS to focus on, but totally on brand for Trump.

Someone says to Trump, " we want to change the name of the ship from a pedo name to a hero name". 

Trump says, "Do it". 

Liberals call that "POTUS focusing on that one thing. I mean, it took him a whole 1 second out of his day!!" 

Can you imagine being a petty liberal troll your whole life? Jeez. 

Liberals got nothing left in their lives.

So naming the ship for petty, unqualified ideologies is fine. But renaming it is an issue somehow? 

Meh.
