Captain Yvonne Gray abandoned the $100 million HMNZS Manawanui to sink to bottom of the Pacific ocean off the coast of Samoa.
⚡️She became the captain of the 5741-tonne, 84.7m-long ship with the "focus on diversity, equity and respect for personnel" according to official Royal New Zealand Navy official website.
I agree that DEI is a terrible thing to use in your hiring process. I believe meritocracy is the only way. That being said, I think we have to wait to get the bigger picture, as I don't (yet) see this was a DEI hire. It is not just DEI because it was a woman, it is DEI if your gender or identity is used as qualifications, instead of skillset.

The source (Aussie Cossack) might be legit, but it has not been picked up by major news sites yet. I don't expect ABC or the likes to write anything of this, but FOX, Justthenews and ilk, or maybe even CNN, might pick it up...
It's a symbolic ship tiller, the part you hold to turn the rudder to steer a boat. Of course, it's not functional and, because it's New Zealand, it's a Maori design for that extra diversity.
You'll notice NZ media "forget" to mention the woman driver. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350441849/hmnzs-manawanui-what-happened-after-ship-ran-aground
We are so screwed.

The article is pathetic, praising the brave decision to abandon ship and the difficult conditions for the brave rescue attempt.
No mention of the incompetence that caused a multi billion dollar ship to sink.
MSM are scum.

I think the lack of competence was proven by the event.
Woke Lesbian takes control of naval vessel in New ZOOland. Question is, did the Captain go down with the ship of just go down on her wife?
I almost spit out my drink. This board needs more comments like yours. It was definitely the latter.
Crazy women drivers

Hers is the second biggest in the DEI New Zealand navy.
The eyes....always the eyes
'In the Navy' by the Village People takes on a new meaning.... so says a 63-66 swabbie!!! 😁
I am sorry, but she looks clueless, and brainwashed.
