The lesbian “diversity hire” captain of a Royal New Zealand Navy ship that ran aground and sank off Samoa has been charged with negligence along with two other officers over the loss of the vessel.
The $100 million HMNZS Manawanui, which was under the command of UK-born homosexual Yvonne Gray, crashed on the south side of Upolu on October 5, 2024, due to human error including failure to turn off [the] autopilot, an inquiry found last year.

The tragic result of DEI. Per the article, another New Zealand Navy DEI-hire lesbian commanding officer also sunk her vessel in 2024. Two for two.

So is this what would be in the US military an Article 15 court martial? Or is this a civilian criminal charge?

How do those ships avoid those rocks just underneath the surface wnen they’re going 40 knots? Underwater radar?
To: twister881
Wow. I would have lost that bet. I thought it more likely that Gray would be promoted to admiral.
The times, are they a-changin’?

At least it wasn’t the Netherlands
They could have hit dykes
Yes even along coastal areas
Oh, I spelled that incorrectly...

Hopefully accurate mapping
However a US submarine hit a small mountain / hill that has been formed and wasn’t mapped

Oh, so true.

“The superstition that women on ships were bad luck was most popular from the 16th through the 18th centuries, stemming from beliefs that women distracted the crew, angered sea gods, or were witches capable of manipulating weather. While common during this era, the belief persisted in some fishing communities into the 20th century.”

The autopilot was turned on. Nobody noticed it until the ship had been on the reef for 10 minutes.
They could not turn the ship because of the auto-pilot. They had to turn off the autopilot first.
