Controversy Surrounds Navy's Decision to Rename Ship
The US Navy faces backlash after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the renaming of the supply ship 'Harvey Milk', a prominent gay rights activist. This decision, made during Pride Month, aims to align with new military priorities and restore what Hegseth describes as 'warrior culture'.
Critics see this move as an erasure of civil rights history, with other vessels named after icons like Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg also under review. The Pentagon's actions have sparked debates about diversity and inclusion within the military, with many viewing this as a significant step backward in recognizing the contributions of marginalized figures in American history.
