This is the result of DEI and affirmitive action crammed down our throats. The conclusion will always be that the job was gotten by means other than overall merit and that will be amplified when mistakes are made. Right or wrong. Truth remains that race minories and social minorites get jobs over equally and often more qualified candidates for nothing but minority status.

Why? Don't read them. Accidents happen during war. These are documented accidents. There were no hostilities anywhere near Florida, New York, New Hampshire, etc. If you want to assert that some were due to hostilities, be my guest. You will be challenging some pretty knowledgable fleet officers...

I'll bet I know what happened. Her girlfriend/wife/partner (whatever the hell they want to call each other) was probably on the bridge telling her how to drive.

Friend: You're going to hit that reef, dammit!

Captain Split tail: No I'm not!

Friend: Yes you are! You never listen to me!

Captain: FINE! YOU FUCKING DRIVE THEN!!

Can you imagine being placed in a position as a Naval Captain largely due to being an open lesbian to fulfill some sort of arbitrary quota and use that position only to take your ship to run aground, catch it on fire, and then sink it? And all due to abject negligence during routine maneuvers to boot?

And it only gets worse, it makes national news AND all the "naysayers" who have for decades admonished the very practice that put this person into said position and forewarned the lack of qualifications would result in such negative results... not only did they at least triple down, but now (as a public lesbian) the very same naysayers now get to pat themselves on their shoulders and quite literally revel in the fact on "how many boxes" you were successful in checking for them.

Holy crap.

I don't have time to look at all of those, so I just looked up the NTSB report on the first one. 10 killed, 48 injured, and $100M in damage. The Officer Of The Deck was the bridge watchstander in charge of navigation in charge of the safe operation and navigation of the ship. The OOD was female. The report left out the most important detail about whether she was also a lesbian.

Please tell me where you got your information that the OOD was a heterosexual woman rather than a lesbian?

Both the CO and XO were on the bridge, and in charge of the operation at the time of the accident. The CO had been on the bridge for 4 hour prior to the accident.

You have proof the OOD was a lesbian? And if so, how her being a lesbian caused the crash?

Being a lesbian wasn't the cause of the crash. Inexperience was. Was an inexperienced person hired for diversity? Sexual preference proof? Her own words,

"Captain Gray had no ship command experience on her resume and had previously admitted that she had ulterior motives to seeking the command of the naval ship. In a 2022 interview with New Zealand’s Navy Today magazine, Gray said she and her wife schemed to move to New Zealand after falling in love with the country on a campervan holiday.

“How do we get to live here, we asked ourselves,” she said, then added, “The most obvious thing was to apply to join the Royal New Zealand Navy.”

She had years of naval experience. Everyone has a first command. These are all comments from social media, no facts. There was no "scheming" involved, and there is nothing close to that mentioned in the cited article. Lots of info on her experience.

As typical, a bunch of bullshit.

Only because you asserted she was not. You confidently declared no lesbians involved. I did not ask for proof that "she was not." I asked you for your source supporting your dogmatic declaration that she, and everybody else, was not.

I said we don't know because the report does not say. Why would I need to submit proof of that? You are the only one pretending to know.

One can easily assume that a person is not a member of an extremely small minority if they are not identified as being a member. I can reasonably assume that all members of this forum are not lesbians. Not that hard to understand.

And there were absolutely no lesbians in command, as there were no women commanding officers. I did not say involved. So you have no point.

Give it up. I have no idea what the hell he's even arguing about. We've both posted magazine articles that have the exact same quotes. She's a lesbian. We all agree. This is her first command. We all agree. She had two years of command experience. We all agree. Was she hired because of "diversity"? Who the hell knows? Did she screw up? Time will tell. In the USN, running aground is blamed on the captain and is usually career ending. Think we agree on that. What does he keep going on about? Whatever. Not worth internet arguing over longer.
