The country of New Zealand lost its first navy vessel since World War II after the HMNZS Manawanui - a $100 million survey and dive vessel commissioned in 2018 - ran aground, burst into flames, and sank off the coast of Samoa.
The commanding officer was Commander Yvonne Gray, a Brit who moved to New Zealand in 2012 and joined the NZ Navy after taking a vacation to the country with her lesbian wife. She had previously served with the British Navy since 1993.
Reports say that after the ship crashed into the reef, it caught fire within 15 minutes and sank, which now sets up a potentially disastrous oil spill that could greatly harm the local reef and the fishing ecosystem there.

What the New Zealand government is not sharing is that no one else wanted the job.
Complain about the oil spill and you’re a homophobe.
Isn’t it interesting how they put those letters in that order and not the DIE order?
Leftists always seem to reveal their true intentions, I don’t know if it’s subconciously or conciously. Like the Obama-Biden ticket. Why did Obama pick Biden who was known as the biggest moron in Congress? I think it’s because Obama-Biden looked like the name Osama Bin-Laden. It was a middle finger to the USA.
I’ve said that before to other people and they tell me I’m nuts, but look what’s going on today. Democrats are actively supporting Iran and terrorists while they try to destroy the USA and Israel.
That is a damn straight DIE possibility
Her sexual preference is of no importance if she is a competent captain. If her sexual preference made her captain without competence is of great importance.
The next question is why in the hell that ship hit a reef that was well charted and known? I suspect it is due to officers below her that were totally incompetent be they male or female or gay or straight. The damn reef was on the charts. What happened?
Ummm, sorry, guess I really can’t go to the author’s name ?
Give me a fkn break !
“You’re killin’ me Smalls “!
We should not be putting mentally defective people in charge of warships.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Just knew it had to be DEI...
As for CapandBall’s remark about CNO Lisa’s pretty ribbons, us Vietnam era guys always look for that red-yellow-red National Defense ribbon. Everything below it is BS.
How many other female lesbian captains does NZ have with their remaining ships?
No offense to Fred Grandy
Talk about muff diving! I better get out of here this could become sordid.
