The U.S. Military continues to go woke.

In a new press release, the US Navy has announced that it will name a future ship after the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

A Navy spokesperson announced that a new replenishment oiler will be named after Ginsberg which is ironic considering Ginsberg was a huge environmental advocate that wasn’t too fond of oil.

The announcement from the Navy come months after the Navy decided to name another ship after the gay rights activist Harvey Milk.
