“America’s Navy values diversity, equality and inclusivity,” the woke Navy leadership claims. “We believe that when a diverse group of individuals come together to do a job, they can do it better because of their differences.”
The Year of Hate helped accelerate the woke destruction of the US Navy.
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday announced that he wanted to change the Navy. While the title of the video of his remarks was “One Team, One Navy”, its divisive message was that the Navy was racist and only “conversations” about race would help.
Gilday “shared” videos of naval personnel claiming that America was racist and that they were angry. “Being African-American in America is not fun,” an aviation technician claimed.
A lieutenant commander claimed that he had experienced “systemic racism” and “implicit bias”. A white corpsman urged that “we can stand up for change” and declared that, “tomorrow’s Navy will finally stand on the right side of history when we realize that black lives matter.”
“I have become very aware of my privilege as a white person,” a female musician confessed. Then she claimed that “this country has a history of systemic racism” and called for creating a “country that is more equitable and just.”
The video closed with Gilday vowing to eliminate “systemic racism” with a new task force.
How’s that working out? The “diverse group of individuals” can’t seem to get anything done beyond DEI sessions.
The Navy’s top admiral and civilian secretary have still not responded to questions about a damning Navy report released Tuesday outlining the sweeping failure of the Navy and its industrial partners to make expected progress on two submarine programs, an aircraft carrier and a new class of frigates.
The delays, from one to three years each depending on the program, come as the Navy and Pentagon pour billions into modernizing and upgrading shipyards in an attempt to build and repair ships more quickly and keep pace with China. Beijing’s navy has already surpassed the U.S. in size.
The revelations came in a one-page fact sheet the Navy put together outlining the findings of Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro’s 45-day shipbuilding study which he ordered in January. Neither Del Toro or the service’s top officer, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, released a statement or commented on the report, which shows a total of 11 years worth of delays across the affected programs.
Two classes of nuclear-powered submarines lead the list of delays, one of which will be the main carrier of the nation’s sea-based nuclear missiles.
Aware of the issues for years, the Navy is still unsure how to fix them.
“We don’t have detailed plans of action, milestones, initiatives — we are identifying and deeply looking into where we are now in a ‘get real, get better’ approach,” Nickolas Guertin, the Navy’s senior acquisition executive, told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday after unveiling the results of the Navy-ordered 45-day study.
“We found that we have issues that need to be resolved,” he said. “But we don’t have all those things completely nailed down yet.”
More videos about systemic racism should do it. And diversity. Diversity can fix anything.
We may no longer have a US Navy capable of taking on China, but at least everyone is respecting everyone else’s pronouns.
Progressives used to tell us that was objectifying a person, especially a woman. Now she's telling us that we should do that.
It's impossible to keep up with what the left is offended by, because they always come up with something else.
Military rot from within... and in a top down organization it could spell the end of our ability to defend ourselves...
*Who knew that our “strength through diversity” might just be detrimental?*
You see in Japan everybody is Japanese. Same with Korea and Koreans. In America you have Blacks, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. Heard it once.
e pluribus unum has never been part of the left’s game plan for America. Diversity was a strength as long as those coming were coming to be be part of the American Culture. Unfortunately, the left sold “tribal” culture to our young through the education system, and to the “new comers” so they didn’t feel the need to become “Americans”. Divide and Conquer is a tactic of war as old as mankind.
I admit, I had to read your post more than once to get the gist-I thought “Whaat? A “catastrophe” won’t be enough?”
Then I had to recalibrate, to include the possibility that even a catastrophe might not be enough.

Sure they can - just one could take out a lot of infrastructure - power plants, dams, bridges, airports, ports.
Because we all know how important it is to get a black person's perspective on how to build a submarine.
Planned for the collapse
No they simply cannot hire enough trades. I was flat out told “people just don’t want to get up that early.”
Yes. The navy could help if it stopped requirements creep and last minute changes. But DIE has little to nothing to do with the problem and it’s just wish casting to say otherwise.
40 years in the business.
we visited the Naval Academy last summer....saw a couple of really out there officers....don’t know if they were male or female but if they were male, we are in a heap of trouble.....
did not earn it....
we have idiots in charge..
Our navy is actually going to go in reverse numbers-wise and ships will go into the reserve if we can't get recruits. The number of sailors and shore personnel needed to operate and maintain the carriers alone is crazy.
You know what is really going to be fun…when the juggler can no longer handle all the balls in the air and big shooting war starts. And our navy starts taking losses. Those losses now can not be replaced, even if you had a decade to do it.
Think an enemy in a hot war is going wait around for decade while we struggle to build replacements?
Good point.
Their aren’t any Leaders in place.Perverts,and namby pambes
focused on vertual tea parties,with the little toy tea sets.
They told you "people just don't want to get up that early" as an excuse to cover the low pay and how they don't treat it like a trade.
They want experts to work for delivery driver wages and then wonder why suckers won't take the job.
JFC. Tell me you have no idea how trades and apprenticeships work without…

I'm fully aware of how government forces prime contractors to hire a certain percentage of Didn't Earn It (DEI) subcontractors. From the government, to the prime, to the sub, they all expect the tradesmen to jump from DEI sub contractor to DEI subcontractor for flat rates while the contracts becomes more and more onerous.
