"The Navy has announced a future oil ship (T-AO 212) will be named the USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg in honor of the late U.S. Supreme Court associate justice.
Ginsburg is noted for being the second woman to serve on the nation's highest court and for authoring the majority opinion in the landmark 1996 Supreme Court case United States v. Virginia that ended the Virginia Military Institute's male-only admissions policy.
