6:05Now PlayingA famous openly gay politician and navy veteran is about to get a ship named after him. Ben Mankiewicz, Brett Erlich, Lissette Padilla, and Alonso Duralde, hosts of The Young Turks break it down. Tell us what you think in the comments below.
"The US Navy is set to name a ship after gay rights activist and politician Harvey Milk, according to a report by the US Naval Institute News.
The tanker, which is yet to be built, will be called the USNS Harvey Milk, USNI News said.
It cited a notification signed by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus.
Milk was one of the first openly gay politicians in the US and was killed a year after winning election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
He served in the US Navy in his youth as a diving officer during the Korean War before being honourably discharged.
Milk was wearing his Navy belt buckle when he was shot dead."
