The USNS Harvey Milk, a ship named after the iconic figure, arrived in San Francisco for the first time, sparking both celebration and protests. A ceremony honoring Harvey Milk was held on the ship. Protesters gathered at Pier 30-32 to demonstrate against the ship's journey to support Israel's actions in Gaza. Some protesters even attempted to block the ship's departure by chaining themselves to the gangway. Despite the protests, Nancy Pelosi and Mayor London Breed welcomed the USNS Harvey Milk to San Francisco.
