The U.S. Navy plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, which is named after gay rights icon who was assassinated in 1978. Milk was a Navy veteran before going on to become one of the first openly-gay elected officials in U.S. history. CBS News has obtained U.S. Navy documents about a proposed timelines for changing the name of this vessel and others – including the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Harriet Tubman and USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
So, why the proposed changes? The document said the renaming of naval ships was to align with Trump administration priorities of "reestablishing the warrior culture." Here's more about the proposal.
