Navy captain’s yelling and public “humiliation” of her officers and crew was so severe and frequent — once for the mistake of pointing out dolphins swimming nearby the ship’s bridge — that sailors were afraid to bring bad news to her attention. That “fear culture” aboard the USS Lake Erie, a scathing Navy investigation found, could have created “a higher risk of having a safety or operational mishap” and an “unsafe command environment where sailors do not … exercise sound judgment.”
…
As the commander of the Lake Erie, the report found, DeFant grabbed or struck her officers while they were on duty on the ship’s bridge, alienated the ship’s senior enlisted crew known as the Chief’s Mess, overreacted to minor transgressions like pointing out the dolphins, and in a briefing to an admiral failed to mention abysmal feedback she had received from the crew.
The admiral who eventually fired DeFant wondered if she had “deliberately whitewashed” the crew’s comments.
At least twice, investigators found, DeFant grabbed or hit an officer on the ship’s bridge, while they were on duty as the ship’s Conning Officer, the watch position directly responsible for the heading, speeding and steering of the ship, who is said to “have the conn.” …

Imagine going to war with the Chinese around Taiwan under the command of a sexually abusive, bitch slapping lesbian Captain.
Sheesh...what was the Navy thinking??????
The USAF is fundamentally different in that (broadly speaking) all the fighting is done by officers. Yes, I'm aware that there will be enlisted pararescue, combat controllers, etc., on or behind enemy lines, but traditionally, the tip of the spear in the USAF has been commissioned pilots with very few E1-E9s engaged in direct combat.
