I wish the Chuck Norris shite would stop.... so old and tired.

Wait, BRB someone's at the door...

There are way too many other things going on for me to give a shite about this.

Will the ship be extra colorful and a bit sassy?

i cant remember where i read it, but there was an interesting story about his connection to Jim Jones

The pure ignorance and just homophobia of this board is really sad sometimes.

next they will have the Rainbow Rump Rangers on the Milk ship

frick Ray Mabus.

frick Mississippi for producing that cultural marxist piece of shite.

Define the cutoff line, Roach. What is ship-worthy?

I'm old school. I thought we were doing just fine with US cities, states, presidents, war heroes and battles. I'm okay with the occasional Navy friendly and very influential politician, like John Stennis, but frick Nancy Pelosi. I'm good with ships named after strong military supporters like Bob Hope. (How is there not a USS John Wayne, I wonder? I'm talking to YOU, Ray Mabus!) I'm also cool with new ships having old names - Wasp, Hornet, Enterprise. Bring back the Nautilas! I liked our submarines named after fish.

That about covers it for me. I guess there have always been ships buried on the Navy's roster that had non-typical names or were named after obscure people (Not to say Harvey Milk is not well known). I just never thought a class of ships would be named after Civil Rights Activists. But since there now is, Harvey Milk is certainly worthy, with or without his service as a Naval officer.

supply ships usually have lesser known naval officer's names.

Holy shite

I'm glad I'm out of military. I just couldn't do it in this climate
