Historically, British sailors held a strong superstition that women on board a ship brought bad luck, potentially angering the sea gods and causing "storms".
Being assigned to a navy ship that has a DEI hire lesbian captain is definitely bad luck.
New Zealand's navy has insisted that a female captain's gender was not to blame for the sinking of a naval ship.
HMNZS Manawanui caught fire and later capsized after it ran aground one nautical mile from the Samoan island of Upolu on Saturday night while surveying a reef.
It was the first time New Zealand lost a military vessel since World War II. And is New Zealand's worst peacetime maritime accident.
the ship's captain Commander Yvonne Gray, has been inundated by trolling online.
New Zealand's defence minister Judith Collins (who is the first female to become defence minister) defended the captain in the wake of the negativity: 'The one thing that we already know did not cause it is the gender of the ship's captain.
Chief of Navy Rear Admiral Garin Golding ordered a probe, which found a 'series of human errors' behind the ship's loss.
'The crew did not realise Manawanui remained in autopilot and, as a consequence, mistakenly believed its failure to respond to direction changes was the result of a thruster control failure,' Rear Amdl Golding said.
'Having mistakenly assessed a thruster control failure, standard procedures should have prompted ship's crew to check that the ship was under manual control rather than in autopilot.
'This check did not occur. Remaining in autopilot resulted in the ship maintaining a course toward land, until grounding and eventually stranding.'
Confusion over roles, under-training and a lack of risk assessment were all identified in the investigation.
The report also includes a lengthy transcript of the events of that night, including the crew struggling to understand the ship’s movements, and early preparations to abandon. It includes the Captain telling crew, “We’ll get in our liferafts and we‘ll survive this and then we’ll wait for help to arrive.”
If you ever get a chance and like a bit of historical fiction, check out Michael Crichton's Pirate Latitudes, this topic is covered in there. Not only the British but any sailors / privateers / pirates (bad word).
And by that I sincerely hope you mean coffee machines bought for the breakrooms on base you absolute bigot! lol.
I was in the military...one day we came into work and the one female hadn't shown up yet and our shop chief said, "someone call _______ and tell her she doesn't have to come in because I already made the coffee."
If it were my ship, I would have stayed there no matter what and there's no way I would have let the ship be lost.
So she never thought of staying there and doing everything within her power to save the ship?
Where was her preparation and situational awareness? She never plotted out her entire course and took everything into consideration before she left?
I don’t get it 🤷♂️just give “it” a job unbecoming an officer. Keep her on active duty cleaning toilets and trash pickup at a Stateside base and have go on TDY every 3 months to a new base to clean toilets and trash pickup. Make an example out her and everyone can gossip and talk about her.
The name Shoshana, originating from Hebrew, derives its meaning from the words lily and rose, symbolizing delicacy and beauty. In Hebrew culture, flowers held great significance, often serving as metaphors for various traits and emotions.
It is part of her training- LGBT peeps aren't allowed to like conservative/libertarian politicians because it violates some of the terms of their club membership- they don't want to get kicked out of the club
Back during the 1980s she would have been discharged immediately. Those days were the don't ask don't tell policy. We all knew who was gay; we didn't have to ask.
Insubordination. That won't look good on her resume.
She'll be Disney's new CEO.
She might be the Admiral of the Jungle Cruise.
Underrated comment🐸💖👌
After she gets out of Leavenworth?
She went to prison?
No, but she should.
Well, she's already got "lame and gay" figured out.

Well, I guess the saving grace was that she was not in command of an aircraft. Running aground from flight is considerably more serious.
"Oops, my bad!" does not seem adequate to the situation. Especially if she was already planning on the loss of the ship.
I would say she spent no more that a week on the sea, she’s a desk jockey bureaucrat DEI hire if ever I saw one.

I have a friend (Carlos) that says all British men are gay - this video may be the reason for him thinking that.
The British slaughtered all their "Y" chromosomes at the Somme....
Ahhh Sir, I remember that from Pirates of the Caribbean 😂🤣😂

Thanks for the book recommendation. I was thinking of heading over to the public library..

Every single time.
Any officer that says “diversity is our strength” should not be in the military
They should have busted her down a few ranks before firing her.
“Au revoir, Shoshana!”
The eyes always give it away.
So how many naval battles did this 'admiral' win?

I look at the photo of her and other military officers with so many service ribbons and can’t help but feel that most of them are bullshit.

Good.
Empty eyes.
With liberals the real stars never rise.
Is anybody gonna ask the obvious question; why she didn't like Trump?
It is part of her training- LGBT peeps aren't allowed to like conservative/libertarian politicians because it violates some of the terms of their club membership- they don't want to get kicked out of the club
So is she gay; is that it? She doesn't look like a trans in the picture unless I'm missing something.
Not sure? Just that she advertises what side she is on...
