Less than a year after being elected to the Supervisory Board of San Francisco, Milk was murdered in 1978 by another board associate who had clashed with him about city policy.The change of name is consistent with Trump administration efforts to reconstruct ‘Warrior culture’ and remove DEI initiatives from national agencies.Officials who spoke subject to anonymity to discuss interior deliberations said that the fresh name of the ship had not yet been chosen.The decision, which was made during the period of Pride, met with fierce criticism from Democrats, and erstwhile talker of the home of Representatives Nancy Pelosi condemned the decision as "shameful, vengeful erasing’ heritage of civilian rights fighters.
California politician Gavin Newsom called this decision a sign "Trump's contempt for the values our veterans are fighting for."The Navy has not yet officially announced a fresh name for the ship and it is unclear whether another John Lewis class ships – all named after the leaders of the civilian rights movement – will besides be renamed.
Other ships in the fleet were named in honor of African-American civilian rights movement leader John Lewis, erstwhile ultimate Court justice Earl Warren, erstwhile U.S. lawyer General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and women's rights activist and abolitionist Lucy Stone and Sojourner Truth.
