Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a video Friday revealing the new name for a navy oil ship previously named after Harvey Milk. Hegseth announced at the start of Pride Month that the USNS Harvey Milk was to be renamed.

Hegseth said that he would be renaming the USNS Harvey Milk in honor of Chief Watertender Oscar V. Peterson. Peterson heroically sacrificed his life while his ship, the USS Neosho, was under attack by the Japanese during the Battle of the Coral Sea.

Navy tanker named after Harvey Milk, California's first openly gay politician, will be renamed for Oscar V. Peterson, who sacrificed his life saving others in World War II.
