NextImg:CBS News: Navy Is Considering Renaming Ship Named for Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared "woke" dead in the U.S. military. The focus is back on lethality and against DEI and transgender troops. In an exclusive report, CBS News is reporting that the Navy is considering renaming ships named for civil rights leaders. We have to be honest: we didn't know there were ships named for Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Cesar Chavez, but if we had known, we'd have been pretty pissed. Isn't it enough that the Notorious RBG has a giant portrait made entirely of tampons in an upscale D.C. hotel?

CBS News reports:

The U.S. Navy is considering renaming multiple naval ships named after civil rights leaders and prominent American voices, CBS News has learned. Among them is the USNS Harvey Milk, a fleet replenishment oiler named after the slain gay rights leader and Navy veteran.

U.S. Navy documents obtained by CBS News and used to brief the secretary of the Navy and his chief of staff show proposed timelines for rolling out the name change of the USNS Harvey Milk to the public. While the documents do not say what the ship's new name would be, the proposal comes during Pride Month, the monthlong observance of the LGBTQ+ community that also coincides with the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising of 1969. WorldPride celebrations are being held in Washington, D.C., this year.

The proposal comes during Pride Month … gasp!

The documents obtained by CBS News also show other vessels named after prominent leaders are also on the Navy's renaming "recommended list." 

Among them are the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez and USNS Medgar Evers.

It still doesn't sound real that there's a ship named for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. What was her great civil rights contribution?
