WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has chosen Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy, a senior administration official said Friday. If confirmed, she would be the first woman to be a U.S. military service chief.
Biden’s decision to tap Franchetti, an admiral with broad command and executive experience, goes against the recommendation of his Pentagon chief, but he is selecting an officer whom insiders had considered the top choice for the job. Franchetti, the current vice chief of operations for the Navy, would become the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recommended that Biden select Adm. Samuel Paparo, the current commander of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, several U.S. officials said last month. But instead, the administration official said Biden is nominating Paparo to lead U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the nomination has not been made public.

Zero warfighting command experience no matter what she/he/it is. This is nincompoop stupid thinking.. a “first”. Why not elevate a few of the defrocked female warship commanders— both of whom were having CAT fights with their own CIC officers (fems/lezos etc.).
One more idiotic decision affecting our NAVAL superiority— this person is completely WRONG. Period. That is all.
Is this one a real female?
Her profile seems to show a good deal of sea duty.
Her operational tours include auxiliaries officer and first division officer on USS Shenandoah (AD 44); navigator and jumboization coordinator onboard USS Monongahela (AO 178); operations officer on USS Moosbrugger (DD 980); combat systems officer and chief staff officer for Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 2; executive officer of USS Stout (DDG 55); and assistant surface operations officer on USS George Washington Strike Group. She commanded USS Ross (DDG 71) and DESRON-21, embarked on USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). She also served as commander of Pacific Partnership 2010, embarked on USNS Mercy (T-AH 19).
Ashore, Franchetti’s assignments include commander, Naval Reserve Center Central Point, Oregon; aide to the Vice Chief of Naval Operations; protocol officer for the commander, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; 4th Battalion officer at the U.S. Naval Academy; division chief, Joint Concept Development and Experimentation, on the Joint Staff, J7; deputy director of International Engagement and executive assistant to N3/N5 on the Navy staff; and military assistant to the Secretary of the Navy.
Her flag assignments include commander, U.S. Naval Forces Korea; commander, Carrier Strike Group 9; commander, Carrier Strike Group 15; chief of staff, Strategy, Plans and Policy (J-5) Joint Staff; commander, U.S. 6th Fleet, Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO; deputy commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe; deputy commander, U.S. Naval Forces Africa; Joint Force Maritime Component Commander; deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfighting Development, N7; and director for Strategy, Plans and Policy (J-5), Joint Staff. Franchetti assumed the duties as Vice Chief of Naval Operations Sept. 2, 2022.
But they thought enough of her to have her on the staff: 4th Battalion officer at the U.S. Naval Academy.
It's NORMAL in hate speak.
Yeah, I was kind of wondering just how many heads she jumped over to get this job. Vice CNO? Really? I’m not totally Navy-savvy.
Considering that we’ll be at war soon, Biden might as well give her a fifth star like they did to Nimitz in WWII.
It all started so promisingly in 1776. But then the illiterates started to vote.
We already have “Rachel” Richard Levin who is an Admiral
Not US Navy though.
She sent in 50 Cap’n Crunch box tops for that “master degree”. Fair and square.
The only place I ever saw the word cis- before the lunatics hijacked it was in the name of the Roman province of Cisalpine Gaul.
Thanks to your post I now know what the name means!
3/4 of the ribbons are what everyone gets the remainder are DEI. None for battle of Coral Sea, Leyte Gulf, Okinawa etc.
“with broad command and executive experience”
Doesn’t say anything about combat experience.

wait until the Chinese engage, they’ll run like hell
Degree in journalism.
I care not her sex or sexuality. I want a leader that knows the enemy not due to his or her mental excellence or sexuality. I want a SON OF A BITCH that will kill my enemy and walk on his graves with joy. That was the logic of General Patton.
During confirmation, everyone take a drink when she says, “Diversity and inclusion.”
God help us.
Was probably masters in Community Organization, but Organization Management sounds better.
Perfect!
Wish she looked like Catherine Bell thats one I could get behind
