She clearly misunderstood the meaning of “Frigate”.

Somewhere in the middle of the article Sarah West had a birthday, apparently.

Apparently they do/did. One of these days we’ll probably have one whose entire crew is lesbians. Problem solved. /s/

It’s a strangely staged photo.

She was just practicing “prepare to be boarded”.

Relationships between servicemen and women are allowed in the military as long as they do not undermine "trust and cohesion" or damage "operational effectiveness".

Hmm. Also curious, she is relieved of command over "allegations" - either this is a knee-jerk reaction and excuse to move her out, or there must be a sense that there is something there. I guess an affair with a married officer would show poor judgement and morals on her part. It would also undermine trust, and call into question favoritism etc.

I had a friend in base security that told me of one female that had a decent side business on a tender for several months.

My initial impression was that it was a lesbian relationship. That would have been acceptable, presumably, or, at least, not actionable.
