The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will join a list of prestigious figures for whom the Navy has honored with a name on a ship.

Ginsburg’s name will grace a new oil ship used to transfer fuel to carriers. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth, gay-rights icon Harvey Milk, and civil-rights leader John Lewis have all previously been awarded the high honor. “Ginsburg is instrumental to why we now have women of all backgrounds, experiences, and talents serving within our ranks, side by side with their male Sailor and Marine counterparts,” Navy Secretary Carols Del Toro said Thursday in announcing the news.

  1. They should have a ship named after a black woman, any black woman. How has our Commander-in-Chief overlooked such gross injustice? It’s the right time to left a wrong.

    Also, I believe that an amphibious vessel should be named after some creature that changed its gender, before Disney takes the lead, and names a new character after such.

      • Harriet, don’t you think that you should update your last name to Tubwoman, considering all the feminist progress made since your times, unless there is something that hasn’t been shared with the public?

  2. As tribute to an environMENTAList, I hope its going to be a sailing boat. It will never fire on the enemy first, and that even after the social worker captain has tried to negotiate with the enemy, and his ship is about to go under the waves.

    • As a former member of the orchestra that played on the deck of the Titanic as it was going down, I concur with your reasoning.

  3. Marc, Harriet Tubthing is best. The new SCOTUS member will concur especially since she can’t define what a woman is.
