In a New Zealand Reddit forum, some have accused Gray of "jumping the line."
"She could be the best commander weve ever had, but in my eye shes still scum for cutting in line," one contributor noted. "How the f**k are we supposed to encourage people to take up a career in the navy or other armed forces branches, when you get foreign transfers cutting in across the top of local career officers and taking plum jobs like Captain. There's people in the service for decades that would have seen their career progression hopes dashed, because some English officer came here on a holiday, thought it was lovely and in less than 5 years is given command of our third biggest and newest ship." [Typos original]
Another pointed out that she may have been allowed to "cut in line" due to military retention problems.
The NZDF's website, ablaze with rainbow flags, notes:
The New Zealand Defence Force's active commitment to building a diverse and inclusive workplace is part of our drive to keep our people well, included, respected, enabled and safe so they can do their job to the best of their ability, have a fulfilling career and ultimately, contribute to a high performing Defence Force.
The benefits of increasing the diversity of our workforce and inclusion of all people include ensuring we can:
- compete to attract and keep New Zealand’s most talented people from the widest talent pool possible
- seize the ‘cognitive edge’ through our agile thinking and innovative problem solving (leading to greater operational effectiveness)
- ensure support from the people we work amongst nationally and internationally to work closely and professionally together as one force.
Yes.
A totally competent crew could have “carried” her....
People who get angry at this are not generally angry at women, per se.
They are angry about the war on competency going on in the West. And it is going on nearly everywhere.
(With apologies to all good and Godly Tamaras and derivatives)
Many of us are sick beyond belief of TAMIs.

I read about that and I did wonder if DIE sank it...
I admit that I feel sympathy for people who might be categorized in one of those buckets, but got to where they are on the basis of their hard work and talent.
That is, I think, the most egregious thing about DIE or Affirmative Action-those who CAN perform are tainted by that. And there isn’t any easy way of getting around it.
“A totally competent crew could have ‘carried’ her....”
If they respected her. People are sick of being put in positions of having to keep their mouths shut and pretend they’re ok with deviants being in charge. My guess is they let the dyke sink the ship.
The photo is of the old MANAWANUI (A09) which was decommissioned in 2018. The MANAWANUI that sank was a much more impressive and capable ship.
All signs point to Yes
And the double standards in play, don’t forget that.
Yes.
she hit a beaver dam?
I bet you had a Magic 8 Ball when you were a kid.
Sounds like the resentment is from having a Limy run a Kiwi ship—as if they haven’t been under the thumb of the English all alone.
the cancer runs deep and it will be the death of the west
Actions speak louder than words.
she should have went down with the ship instead of going down with another...oops. probably in trouble now.
This is not the first a ship has run aground and sunk. It is not the last time.
The inquiry should be if they did the right thing or not. If not, then demote those responsible and/or discharge them.
