Washington 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.

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.
CBS News found that a December 2024 web article from Naval Sea Systems Command about the laying of the keel for the future USNS Thurgood Marshall has been deleted.

Being an asshole just to be an asshole leads to people thinking you got nothing but asshole inside you. In Trumps case, this is accurate. Without being an asshole, there is nothing else inside him. A loveless troll of an asshole.
