'Taking politics out': Hegseth rechristens US Navy ship named after gay rights leader
Saturday, 28 June 2025 ()
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth renamed the USNS Harvey Milk to USNS Oscar V Peterson, citing a desire to remove politics from ship naming. The original name honored Harvey Milk, California's first openly gay politician and Navy veteran. This decision, reversing a 2016 Obama-era choice, aligns with Hegseth's push to eliminate DEI policies.
