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.

I assumed it meant that she would be the new Secretary of the Navy.
I had to look far down to see that her new title is Chief of Naval Operations.
Her new title should have been in the first paragraph.
Also, it would have been nice it the journalist had explained what these respective titles entail. Such as, why isn't the Secretary of the Navy considered the one who "leads the Navy."
Perhaps only an ordinary lesbian?
Tactically smart enough to rise to the top of leftist scum as head of the Queen’s Navy.
John Paul Jones is rolling over in his grave ...
Watch for ongoing earthquake warnings at Annapolis ...
When Congress refused his advance to Admiral—he joined the Russian Navy—they made him an Admiral and he fought Turks in the Black Sea. He received a medal from Catherine the great. Heck, Putin could name a Russian ship after him. Tear down his statues! Take his name off the monuments—HE WAS A RUSSIAN!
Supporter of the rainbow flag group I assume. Is she a woman, a female, an it, a what the hell is she/he/it/them/those/was, a man, a half and half, what the heck is she??? You need a danged book these days to figure this crap out.
A JOURNALISM major is now HEAD of the U.S. Navy, the most powerful force on the high seas!!! That is an appointment thanking the MSM for the success of the commies.
Everybody in the Biden administration is a token or a stooge but most of the time both.
It’s a stupid as it gets the left are loving it.
“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, Biden is nominating Paparo to lead U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.”
Well, she also got a degree in organizational management. ( Eyeroll )
...and that makes her more qualified...how?
I had a little accident with the USS Ronald Reagan. Um...it sunk. All on board eaten by sharks. sob.
A SEXIST WOULD SAY!
Tough luck, Obama got rid of all them.
MR KAPLAN ?????!!!!!
“throughout her career, Admiral Franchetti has demonstrated extensive expertise in both the operational and policy arenas.”
Translation - a good little rabid Democrat soldier.
BTW, not the first female Joint Staff Officer - that distinction belongs to Ms General Milley. :0)
He was miffed she isn’t black?
MR KAPLAN ?????!!!!!
"I see what you did there!"
