The Trump administration is set to take the almost unprecedented action of stripping Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy ship, a defense official told CNN.

Harvey Milk was gay. We all know that. But today, gay sailors serve openly and with a great deal of pride in the U.S. military,” said retired Adm. James Stavridis.

U.S. officials say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to rename the USNS Harvey Milk in a highly rare move.
