A Navy ship named for gay rights activist Harvey Milk, who was made to resign from the force because of his sexual orientation, was launched in San Diego Saturday.
The USNS Harvey Milk is a replenishment oiler, which refuels aircraft carriers at sea.
"He made a difference. That's the kind of naval leader that we need," said Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro during the christening ceremony.
